    I'm currently using napster for my sonos system, £5 a month. Prefer it to spotify as on the sonos spotify won't play the radio mixes etc, napster seems better to me on sonos, also get free trial as well
  • I use Google Music but I already had a large library of my own music.

    I tried Spotify premium and was impressed, great sound quality, but I don't think it's worth £10 a month considering Netflix is only £5.99 a month!

    Currently use Spotify to buy MP3s. But we can't do this after new year. :(

    Did used to use Amazon; but that got expensive and I didn't always find what I wanted. Whereas with Spotify, I was able to get 100 downloads for £50. I would be looking at at least £69 for 100 downloads on Amazon.

    Why don't you just get premium then use it in offline mode?

    A lot will depend on the type of music you are looking to download.

    If you are looking for music outside of standard chart stuff, give emusic.com a look. It's a monthly subscription service, with tracks averaging around 42p each and bonuses for larger monthly amounts. There's a free 25-track trial and no minimum period of subscription.

    If you purely want chart stuff it's probably not for you, though.

    I havent ever paid for a MP3 ever, the only songs I have are the ones ripped from my CD's or CD's I have borrowed
  • Spotify premium, £9.99/month, and Audacity...

    Given how infrequently I buy MP3s, I'm not sure I can justify Spotify Premium.

  • I've used only Spotify premium and I gotta say that the app never worked properly as of the web player is not able to connect to my Spotify account. The customer service was really poor. I really want to try Google music, I've read only good reviews.
