Stream albums and Radio?

[Dixie]

What's the best place to stream music? I was using Rdio, but they got bought out.

We use Pandora and Spotify all the time, rarely buy music now.

If you are Prime member, the amazon streaming service is cool too

live365.com Been using it for over a decade. 10000 stations and I got my favorites. I don't care what music you like they have it PERIOD!!

I like Amazon Prime. $99/year for shipping, videos, and music.

Nice thing about Amazon Prime music is that you can download the songs to your phone, ipod, etc and listen offline. Plus, there are a huge number of preformatted playlists and stations you can stream.

Tidal. Spotify is the world-wide giant. Pandora is the runner-up followed by everybody else. But Tidal streams with flac files that are just a tiny, teeny bit off in quality in direct comparison to a CD imho. Everybody else uses compressed files. Squashed dynamics with a slight bright haze. Apple included btw. Rdio did have the best new music playlists though . . . I would find it on Rdio & play it on Tidal.

Here is a Tidal playlist: tidal.com/playlist/09ac236d-c362-4ae3-9424-d59c981a44c3

Copy & paste that into a browser. Sign up for a trial & make sure that you go to settings > streaming & set it to flac 1411.

If those tracks don't convince you of the benefits of high quality streaming, nothing will.

Tidal is very cool. I like real radio, with live dj's, so I use tunein. Nothing beat WWOZ on the day Toussaint passed, or, well, you get the idea.

Im pretty bummed about rdio... They had a depth in their catalog that will be hard to match.

Amazon Prime is perfect.
As stated above: free shipping, music and movies.
49 Euro per year in Europe.
Music and movies can be downloaded for offline listening and watching.
The apps are very good.
