I don't - when I pay for something, I want to keep it to use whenever/wherever I like!

 

Also - I don't spend anywhere near enough on music to justify a premium sub (£10/mth), and I couldn't put up with adverts, so the free option is a no-no.

Does Spotify count as a streaming website?

 

I rarely(ish) use we7, if I'm somewhere other than home (problem though the scrobbling kinda stinks, the album names seem to be blank in last.fm).

Edited by FM11

I used to use We7 before it went crap and thought it was very good. Now I use Spotify every day with an unlimited subscription (£10 for two months) and I'd say it's worth it to get unlimited play and no adverts. Also think it's useful the way it can scrobble to last.fm.
Yes, I do. I only use Spotify, and it's normally to check out a new artist or to listen to an album before I decide to buy it.
Yes, Spotify but I only really use it to listen to artists who I just sort of think of or I'm reminded of and want to go through their back cat but don't have much of them on iTunes, or listen to albums I think I might buy but want to see if it's OK first but it's good.
No I don't, I'd rather have the actual CD, if it came down to the crunch that CDs albums are no longer available, which they never will as there is a market for them and the only means available to me to stream music, than I probably have to resort to it.

I had to look up 'scrobble, as I'd never heard of it before!

THIS, although im beginning to move off cds and buy vinyl as its worth more in the longer term - although im hoping top buy my own record player/decks when i buy my first house!! :D

I wish Last.fm could count towards it...

Spotify if I'm using the school computer and when I'm on a computer or laptop at home. I did use it constantly when I had the free premium trial on my iPod but I'm not payin £10 for it. :coffee:

In the last week I've been using We7 radio, which is the fee version on iPod which is very good imo. I also used Deezer a lot when I had my free trial and I also use 8 tracks which is quite pleasant.

Spotify, don't have a paid subscription but it occasionally forgets to count my listening time each month which is quite handy.

Strange that two Adele songs are there, but *not* Someone Like You. :blink:

I used to use Spotify all the time when it was brand new, but I quickly grew tired of it when they started to ramp up the prices (I would never spend that much on music usually in a standard month so it wasn't worth it for me.) Now I just stick to my downloaded music.
I have an unpaid 19 hour limit with Spotify, but I've grown bored of it, mainly because of SO MANY adverts :drama: I'd prefer to just download the music
Use Spotify to listen to new albums/old tracks - iTunes/album that have been purchased when not.

Someone Like You isn't on most streaming websites I think. Neither is Set Fire to the Rain, it just has the Thomas Gold and Moto Blanco remixes of it, but not the original. I think It's because Adele isn't signed to a major record label, so all of her songs don't get put on there or something. DJ Fresh, Wretch 32 and Example also don't have some of their songs on there.

 

It's the same in the US charts aswell. I was so confused at first, because Rolling in the Deep was in the top 10, and the two other songs (which were more popular at the time in sales) were nowhere to be found lol.

Lack of popular tracks would certainly dissuade a number of people from using on-demand sites - it would also provide a good reason why it's not yet time to include streaming as part of the overall chart.
