Deezer

Using Google Play Music. Upgraded my Google account to a US one using this --> http://www.androidbeat.com/2014/03/access-usa-google-play-country-proxies-vpn-necessary/. Used a NYBox forwarding address. Using the trial currently but will see if I can get it for $7.99 (Youtube Music Key Special). Tried them all including Simfy, Deezer etc. and the sound quality of Play Music is amazing. The ability to effortlessly add your own music is great. Deleted all my own uploaded songs and will now only upload the albums that they do not have. There is even afrikaans music like F*kofpolisiekar ens. and Taylor Swift for the SO.

Also upgraded my MS account to a US one and will trial Xbox Music as well but with 192kbps wma I don't have high hopes. Also don't like that you will have to add your own music to onedrive. Will see how that works when they add the functionality.

With Google Play you can set the default CC so can change that to an SA one. Also allows you to get a Google Voice number etc.

Can't believe Spotify is so popular. Even if you are a premium user the web app will only stream at 160kbps. Deezer also streams some music at only 128kbps going by this thread --> http://www.head-fi.org/t/688383/deezer-vs-spotify-bitrate-sound-quality.

Thanks. Can't wait for google play music to come to SA. Not going to upgrade my google account to a US one.
 
Flow gets better the more songs and artists and you like/favourite.

Later I've started adding random songs and it continued playing the same songs over and over again. This was about 3-4 months ago though, could be better now.
 
I might have used it up already, think I subbed a while ago, but never really used it... :( will go check after my deezer trail is finished.

You can use Rdio for free on Chrome with Adblocker. I've been using it for a while now and haven't had any problems.
