Who Uses Spotify?

@porwest No. Only YouTube or Alexa.

Do you ever use it for music?

@just4him I use YouTube, but I won't allow Alexa in my house.

@porwest You'll be $120 richer than me at the end of the year, lol.

@porwest I didn't know your songs were on Spotify. I'll definitely look them up. Are they under your real name, not Pink Flamingoes?

@1creekgirl Indeed. Maybe a little more. My screwy original songs are all on there. lol

Do you any other services for streaming music?

@porwest Only Youtube..dont need anything else

@RebeccasFarm YouTube certainly has a wealth of content. I do prefer some of the features of Spotify, and of course I use YouTube and Spotify differently.

@porwest Good thing that it is free. Hard to find things these days that we can use for free.

@porwest lol We always listen to the oldies station in the car (60s and 70s)...and I play those same songs in my head. :-)

@LindaOHio I like a lot of the older music as well. 50s is not totally my thing, but I do like a lot of it. 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s are my fortes. A lot of the stuff 2000 and beyond is not particularly pleasing to my ear despite my wide range of musical tastes.

I used to be just a radio guy too. But no opportunity to discover, so I have always used online resources to find stuff they won't ever play on the radio. Besides, most new mainstream music today is total crap IMO. And I say that having produced crap of my own. lol

@porwest I understand. For my musical tastes "Classic Rock" (60's, 70's, ) it has a great selection.

@dgobucks226 It does. So far I have no trouble finding things there. I am pretty sure if there is a song out there, it's on Spotify.

It does have a lot of great features. I wish it was easier to find more obscure artists and recordings, but that would be my only complaint.

Now that I have it, I use it in the truck more often than not. I still like iHeart Radio because I can tune into my favorite talk radio station back home in Milwaukee.

Thanks for the input.

YouTube is certainly a good source for finding music. Even for finding great covers by some very talented musicians out there. But Spotify also has its purposes too—although not for making your whites whiter and your colors brighter. lol

@porwest It is different from Spotify in that you can't select exactly which song you want to hear. But you start out with a "channel" and can up-vote or down-vote songs so it "learns" what to play and what not to play. I've been using the Kenny Chesney Channel for years and it pretty much gets it spot on. I use the Jimmy Buffett Channel too but there are rock ones, decade ones, etc. My ex particularly likes the Irish Pub music channel.

I have heard Pandora is good too but I have no experience with it.

Do you like it and how long have you been using it?

Hmm. I have never heard of Ganna. Is that just an Indian thing or is that worldwide?
