I am canning Spotify after loving it, need a replacement

[R4ziel]

Hey guys, so a while a go I got introduced to Spotify through a discussion on the forum and I fell in love with the way it works, using it in my car daily and getting everything set up.

I have been adding artists and songs to my library which I never knew and discovered a crap ton new music. The one problem now is I have reached the maximum allowed songs in the library and I can only download a third of them to my phone. I don't understand this restriction on a premium service and it is utterly backwards. The reason i pa for a service is to not have restrictions!

Anyway, I need a replacement. I don't have anything apple and never will so no Apple music, but what others are there that allows for Offline play on mobile and works like spotify that I don't have to buy all the songs I listen to? I don't particularly need a desktop app although that will be an added benefit.

Any ideas?

Google play music

Have you tried Deezer?

What is the maximum? I haven't had the issue as yet

10k songs in your library, and you can only download 3,333 onto any device, which sucks

Is there a way to quickly add all songs from an artist to your library, I'm not really keen on adding one album at a time.

Jislaaik, that seems a bit excessive to me, you must really like music

I've tried now, doesn't seem like I can

Google Play all the way.

I would also say Google Play Music but sheesh their music-quality sucks sweaty testicles compared to Spotify.

Yeah I really like music, and I listen to it a lot as I am in my car for 3.5 hours each day, also listen to music at work.

The library is not the biggest train smash, I can deal with the 10k limitation. But my one playlist has got 6k songs, and I can only download half of them to my phone, which is a bit of an issue as I don't want to use data listening to the half that's not downloaded

 

[RedViking]

How many hours are 6 000 songs?

FWIW you don't need an Apple device to use Apple Music. I ditched Google Music on my Android phone in favour of AM.

Dude.... seems a little excessive man

Why not just download, put on USB and go?

Until Google and Apple are having a cat fight and AM gets pulled from the Play Store.

Ja, already happened between Google and Amazon

Ironically in the other thread talking about Spotify, I said that is the way I do it currently and people thought I was ancient with still using offline media lol.

Wow,have you ever finishedthat playlist?

 

[namzsteve]

Hated spotify. Deezer was also useless to me. My trial expired on Google play music, just started apple music, but so far I would recommend Google play music anyday!

 

[R4ziel]

So just let me get this clear with everyone here, you only have music on your playlist that you will listen to in your next journey/session? I might be missing something here but I'd rather have more music in my playlist and not have to repeat songs the whole time, do I have it wrong?

I didn't know "finishing a playlist" was a thing

At this stage it's M.A.D. if either try playing silly buggers. More so when Apple lets Google Maps into CarPlay. Besides, unless Google reaches into my phone and yanks off AM then what can they do? Apple can always release their own APK, right?
