superjack Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 A friend of mine uses it, I use apple music myself. Not a lot of differences that I've noticed, just the layout. I just find apple music more user friendly. Sorry, not much help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never Let Them Forget Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Have tried Apple Music a few times (free trials) but just can’t get into it, for me Spotify is far supreme to both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairneyhill Jambo Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) I pay £9 a month for Amazon Prime. You get free next day delivery on most items bought off Amazon, as well as tv series, films etc which you can download to watch offline. I can also download most albums on Amazon music. Me being a bit older means most older albums can be downloaded to my phone for free. Edited August 20, 2019 by Cairneyhill Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown user Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I'm on YouTube premium, I get YouTube Music which has all the usual stuff like spotify, as well as the soundtrack from videos on YouTube marked as music. And of course, YouTube without ads and their original stuff. I pay 18 quid a month for 6 accounts, all 6 think it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead ya old fart, in my senior years Spotify is my choice, tried Amazon Prime any decent movies you had to pay for. So for me, Spotify and Netflix by the length of Princes Street, Edinburgh, Capital of Scotland. Edited August 20, 2019 by Jamdub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobmisterdobster Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I use YouTube Premium because I watch a lot of YouTube and having no ads and background playback on mobile is very useful. The YouTube Music app is a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphonseCapone Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I use it, and I like it. I can find some very obscure music that I like plus the stuff you'd expect. The suggestions based on what you listen to are pretty good for finding new tunes and bands. I should say I don't pay as I'm included on someone in my family's account but I'd probably consider paying myself tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sometimes pay for Amazon Prime anyhow but, if we’d known about the music too, we would probably have gone for this option. Thanks.

Sooperstar Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Amazon Prime Music and Amazon Music are two separate serviced. The number of songs available through Prime Music is a lot less than through the full music service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also really like their mix and flow options. Tenner a month I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronJambo Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I ditched Amazon music as soon as the Sonos one got Google compatibility. I'm not sure there's much difference in the service but I dislike Alexa, she's a bit thick. £14.99pm I'm sure it is for a family plan (6 users).

luckyBatistuta Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Use the music most days, definitely worth the money. On a wee side note... Ask Alexa...what is 100 in Welsh😂 (make sure the kids aren’t in earshot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Google home a lot more than Alexa, for understanding plain speak of nothing else, but I'll admit that a part of my decision to go with YouTube premium was that we're already in the Google ecosystem with android phones, Google Homes and Chromecasts throughout the house. Also, I watch a lot of YouTube documentaries, so if I'm going to pay for a music service, might as well get one that takes the ads off normal YouTube and allows playback to continue with the screen off, not to mention music you won't find on any of if the other services.

Салатные палочки Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I wonder if someone could answer this for me. I bought a Kindle the other day. Included in it is a three month free trial of Kindle Unlimited. It arrived yesterday and I downloaded two books, which both came to £6.98. I checked my bank after it and nothing had came out but in my Amazon account it says in my orders the total for the books. Now, and this may be a silly question, are the books actually free because of the Kindle Unlimited subscription? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beave1874 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Not sure I can add to this properly but I think you are correct. I took out Audible (primarily for my wee one and to assist with homework) and got a free trial with two free books. Bonus is I got the full Partridge Oasthouse podcasts which counted as a book, 21 episodes. So think you are fine, Amazon tend to be generous on their trials.

Der Kaiser Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Enjoy my Amazon Music. I do have an Alexa device in all bedrooms, living room and kitchen so chose their music for convenience. Sometimes have it playing housewide. Bluetooths in the car fine. Streams pretty seamlessly wherever I've been. Only annoying thing is some songs removing themselves from playlists over time.
