I was using spotify but switched to play music, has pretty much the same library and I can upload my own music on it and it syncs. Also get 3 months free.
>>54346144
I listen to my 250gb collection.
Soundcloud for most of my music
>>54346144
Just paid my 3rd month of Spotify.
I too thought 'hurr durr muh non piracy streaming botnet' but it's just way too comfy if you have €10/month to spare
- Actually good suggestions
- Auto-downloads new playlist items when you're on WiFi
- XBMC app
- Instantly plays from system resume or when switching devices
- On parties just log in and afterwards logout remotely if I forget
Thats about the features that do it for me, no whatcd or whatever private tracker torrent shit.
>>54346144
My MP3 player. I use bandcamp and soundcloud as well.
I like youtube for streaming music, I set it at 1080 for quality.
I use Google Play Music.
Have all my shit synced and you can DL the songs at 320kbps on your devices so I have no idea why audiophile fags get upset.
>>54346394
Using google play here. Free 3 months was 3 months ago. Does spotify let you download for listening offline? Google does, but a bug keeps coming back where a bunch of it gets deleted if you reboot your phone...it's starting to piss me off. Still better than no download option, tho, i guess.
Pandora because pianobar. Only use it to discover new music, otherwise I stream from mpd.

This. I listen to a lot of house and trance music and soundcloud has it in droves.
>>54346144
I use youtube.
Apple Music
I use both streaming and local music. Honestly even though Spotify has clear advantages over using Poweramp + SD card, it still has many drawbacks. That includes quality and being forced to use the streaming music player itself. But quality though. Anyone claiming that the 160 kbps default on Spotify is good enough have clearly bad hearing.

Just choose extreme quality and save most of your music for offline listening
I listen to the local 128 vbr Opus rips on my mSD card. If I want more music I just download it.
>>54346370
I am a cheap student with an 8GB Moto G. Streaming is a blessing.
>>54346144
Spotify, because fuck Apple and their fucking jewdog Taylor Swift. I only use iTunes to store & play music that isn't available on streaming services.
Also YouTube.
>>54346144
Tidal continues to be for people who believe in pseudoscience.
Using Spotify myself, it's far too comfy.
>All Access catalogue of over 30 million tracks

pretty much only use spotify because of the suggestions and discovering new music
also
>>54346144
is there a good spotify downloader?
similar to youtube-dl as in downloading and converting whole playlists
already have premium if thats necessary but would be great to have stuff as files too
>>54346144
None of them, it's inferior to radio.
Spotify. I pirate everything they don't have and upload it to my Google Play account :^)
I've been a Google Music cuck since it was launched, which means I'm locked in at $8 a month. This, plus the fact that my own library syncs to it, and I get Youtube Red included automatically pretty much means I have no reason to ever switch services.
I've also discovered a lot of good stuff based in its recommendations.
>>54347369
Spotydl used to work fine until last year but I think they were forced to shut down.
Cyanogenmod Music Player
>>54347410
Same here also been using it from start for cheap. Just too much of a hassle to use my mp3 player nowadays, still have a cowon j3 though.
About 90% of the music I listen to or get nowadays is through Soundcloud and Bandcamp.
>>54346672

What PLAYER is the best /g/?
I illegally download all of my music
>>54346144
speaking of spotify.
are there any third party clients that actually work without needing premium?
even a simple wrapper for the website would be good enough.
>>54346715
>>54346755
Real talk though I miss WinMx.
>>54346144
None of the above. The rare times I listen to digital radio, it's Pandora.
>>54346144
spotify, it's the best.
Spotify, although I do download music from time to time.
Spotify Premium.
Fits all the needs.
iTunes/Bandcamp for music purchase.
SoundCloud for some good free tracks.
BlackPlayer on Android for transfered songs on SD card.
>>54346526
Yes Spotify has offline listening
>>54346160
This with adblock actually isn't half bad since Google keeps metrics on everyone and can guess pretty well what to play next.
>>54346665
I've been thinking about Apple Music, how is it?
>>54346677
It still is.
>>54349630
Good, not for weeb music
>>54349757
I honestly haven't noticed the difference until it goes to 144p
>not using youtube + youtube background play + youtube adaway
How can they even compete
>>54349806
Youtube has started filtering a lot of music out if you use a mobile connection, I'm sure there's a workaround but it has annoyed me
Spotify & Pandora.
Soundcloud.
Haven't downloaded music in a year or so and now I'm lazy to start downloading them all again, so I'll be stuck on that for now. Thought most soundcloud songs can be downloaded from there.
Home media server full of pirated + purchased music
I use Spotify but I've been a broke joke for the past 3 months so I haven't payed for my subscription. Shit sucks without paying for it, sometimes it feels like I can't get a signal anywhere unless I pump $12 into it once a month. I used iTunes Radio before Apple Music fucked it all up, now I have an Android.
Mainly Spotify for general listening to music while driving to school / work, but I use Google Play to organize my music.
I don't pay for either, but used a cracked Spotify .apk with tabletmetrics and TMobile has free streaming with both services, so that's the main reason I use them.
>>54346144
for streaming? generally use youtube playlists/mix
>>54349806
my biggest issue with youtube is, if I put on some good country and hit the mix link, it eventually inevitably starts playing that tractor rap bullshit they call country, or if I put on pretty much anything that's not country, if I listen long enough it plays fucking justin beiber
>>54349989
The bigges pro is that it has all the weeb music and obscure mongolian throat singing in it
>>54346153
No, I just run Spotify in the background for shits and giggles
>>54346672
WMP tagging is okay
>>54346526
Yes it does. However Spotify won't let you listen to your own mp3s which is lame. On google play you can upload them and have they synced in your library. Everything else is pretty much the same.
>>54346144
I use youtube.
Come at me.

WinMX was true top tier.
Limewire was cool for downloading >1Gb games like Age of Empires or the original Sims.
I also had some laughs looking through the porn and playing "dont get a fucking virus while trying to jack off"
Question: Does Winamp still have porn channels?

YouTube red. Honestly, its actually pretty good, but organizing needs updating.
>>54346144
Spotify. It's free and you can remove the ads.
I've only ever used Google Play Music to buy the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia soundtrack and for free albums they give out every now and then.
Never heard of whatever Tidal is.
>>54353753
its $10 you faggot
>>54346370
what meme? why the fuck would i spend time on downloading music when i can stream it you autismofuck
Actually it's even worse. You don't even buy it, you just rent it.
If you upload a .flac file to google play, can you still sync it and play it on another device?
>>54346144
FM Radio.
Youtube if I want to listen to a specific song.
Had the 3 free months of Applel music and it was garbage. Spotify free is even shittier.

You can record what's playing on your sound chip. It's a awkward workaround but keeps the quali.
>>54355519
What if you don't have much battery left and you still want to listen to your music? What if you're going for a walk and don't have great network coverage? What if you want to listen to your music on a long bus ride?
>Spotify on desktop
>Includes local library so you don't have to switch with foobar all the time
>Still need to switch playlists
>Spotify on phone
>Restricted to spotify only
If they would introduce a new premium tier for like €20 that allows you to export music i'd happily pay for it for convenience's sake.
Until then I guess we only have one choice which is >>54355713 his solution, luckily you only have to do it once lest you screw up the recording.
>>54346443
Soundcloud is gr(5x2)-2. It saves music as cache, which is pretty convenient if you're a lazy cunt who hates downloading. I have about 500 tracks in my 'liked' playlist but it does occasionally fuck up and delete my entire cache for no apparent reason.
>inb4 cleaner apps
I manually disable soundcloud from being touched during cleanups
>>54346672
S O U L S E E K
>>54353937
which programs did you use to do that?
>>54355746
>What if you don't have much battery left and you still want to listen to your music?
what is offline mode/what is a phone charger
>What if you're going for a walk and don't have great network coverage?
see above
>What if you want to listen to your music on a long bus ride?
I fail to see your argument here
Occasionally Spotify. When I buy music I use Google Play
>>54356139
>What if you want to listen to your music on a long bus ride?
It's similar to the first example, meaning - the lack of a phone charger. I don't think everyone carries a powerbank all the time. Do you only listen to music while you're inside? I usually listen to it on my way to the gym, sometimes while working out, etc.

mpd+ncmpcpp+mpdroid
>>54355519
Now you spend time downloading the same music every time you listen to it!
I know, it's a brilliant solution!
This thread has got me tempted to set up mpd+mpdroid. Going to take fucking ages to upload everything from local storage to my dedi though.
>>54356831
Non-remastered tracks of Queen etc.
The Beatles
Soundtracks from various games/movies/shows
Certain Albums/tracks from artists that are on spotify
Those are a few I can name from my head, and I'd suppose by now the original versions of certain tracks are on their database. Though a lot is still missing unfortunately.
Also, there isn't really an equalizer on the spotify clients and for my phone/earbuds it's a welcome addition.
>>54346830
Literally the only correct option.
Google Music, but only the free tier with shit I uploaded myself. Once that's dead I'll build my own service for fun
>>54346144
apple music is the goat
>>54356860
How do you self host?
>>54355244

>>54357091
Why not just serve from home? If you're the only client it shouldn't be impossible. 50mbps/2mbps seems to be most cable companies base package nowadays, and 2mbps should be more than enough for realtime streaming of v0 MP3s.

fags
>>54359563
Well I've already got the server running for other purposes so I'd rather just use that than add the additional expense of running my PC 24/7.
It's not an atrocious wait anyway. About 15 hours to rsync it from my home connection I think.
>>54353937
Due you have to sauce shit like this. What is that??
I use GPM, but I don't play anything other than content I've uploaded. I don't always have my mp3 player on me (Zune 30GB), but I always have my phone and frequently have wifi, so I upload choice albums and artists and stream that.
Paying for a stream service is fucking stupid.
>>54346144
Google Play Music gives me free shit. Why would I want anything else?
>>54346456
You could actually get Spotify for cheaper if you buy a subscription on ebay for $50 a year.
>>54346144
Tried the free trials of all the major services and stuck with Google Play Music as it just worked nicer than everything else for me.
>>54355746
I used to think this until I actually used a streaming service
Now I just mark what I want to keep on the device as always keep offline and I make use of the auto-download and keep offline mode for songs that might interest me so I almost always have something new to listen to if i want it even offline. It just downloads random stuff based on my likes and does a pretty decent job of it so far.
>>54360543
Well, first of all Spotify and other popular music streaming services aren't available in my country. I think Deezer is the only one we have. What about the quality? Is it 320 kbps mp3?
Google Play Music.
Pretty good selection of music. Doesn't beat Spotify, but if I want something on my GPM account, I can download it, dump it in my already synchronized music library and it'll automatically upload to GPM.
Would like to have a desktop player, though. The one made by Marshallofsound is good, but for some reason, it makes my PC have weird microstutters.
>>54346144
I use Tidal because it's free in my carrier. I would never recommend it, the app has so many shitty ideas it's suprising
>shit playlists
>shit optimization, you can press back button literally 30 times before it exits the app, because it remembers every screen you saw since last launch
>every song you play gets added to temporary playlist with rest of the album, meaning if you change from middle of album A to middle of album B and press backward button, instead of selecting song form beginning of album B it goes back to stuff you listened to from album A
>if you're not in offline mode, it loads online stuff like other recommended albums covers even when selecting downloaded songs; meaning when you go to subway and lose connection and just wanna listen to some songs you downloaded, you can't, because it will load forever, unless you change to offline mode
>those said recommendations are not even remotely helpful, instead of similar artists you get other albums from same artist, so you can load recommendation for same albums you already have over and over again
>>54357740
I thought the Beatles are on Spotify now
>>54355789
>new premium tier for like €20 that allows you to export music
Are you saying you want 16 million songs for the price of a cd?
>>54360628
I think default quality (on mobile data) is 196kbps aac and high quality is 256kbps aac.
>not running koel or cherrymusic
>paying a monthly subscripotion to Jewgle and Aplel
>>54360994
Yeah, that's what I was referring to. If you're paying for it, they should at least give you high quality music.
>>54360824
oh, and forgot to add one thing
>temporary playlist doesn't seem to have limit on number of songs (I cleaned it around 500), it remembers all that shit you listened to from months ago, you have to clean it manually from time to time or it starts shitting itself
>Using streaming music is a MEME YOU KEKS

>>54349630
I really like it.
>>54361073
256kbps aac is fine for me when listening on the train
>>54355661
it will be transcoded to mp3 so yes
>>54348964
what is wrong with the official client?
>>54361217
Seriously though, I don't even really use Spotify, but I'll play certain songs on there occasionally just to get some recs with it

whats not to like?
>>54346144
Who gives a fuck I have T-Mobile binge on
What extra do I get from Google if I pay for Play Music? They must throw in more than just the music.
It's a shame Amazon's offer is so shitty, otherwise paying like £100 a year for free fast delivery and streaming music, TV and films would be seriously comfy.
All my playlists are locked up in Spotify so I use that.
I buy my music and use itunes match to sync my rips over my devices. sorry.

>>54360898
€20 for 16 songs, of which you would probably only listen to less than half of.
then yeah. Right now I pay nothing for my premium plan though.
Apple music 3 months trial, my spotify 3 months trial ended 2 months ago. I really liked spotify tho, but they arent offering student discount, its too pricy just for the "convinience". If they dont lower the price by the time i am done with apple music i am going back to the old ways :^)
>>54365271

>Using the botnet for you music
I upload my local library to google play music.
>>54365430

ModArchive and a folder, of course.
>>54346492
GPM replaces your files with the files they have
So if you have the ultra rare non brickwalled release of brickwallpop it will replace it with the brickwalled version
