Poll: What’s your music streaming service of choice?

We’ve been noticing for the past several months that a lot of people we know have changed their music listening habits. Some have stopped from buying albums from iTunes while many have forgotten to download songs from torrent sites. It seems like music streaming services have changed people’s listening habits. So, we wanted to take a poll to see how far and wide the changes are.

The major players in the local market are Spotify, Spinnr, Deezer, Rdio and Guvera. We’ve tried all of them and know a number of people who’ve been using all on the list.

Spotify has partnered with Globe while Smart has Deezer on top of its own Spinnr (read: With Deezer’s arrival, what will happen to Spinnr?), Rdio is preferred by Chromecast users as it’s supported by the device, Guvera is fairly new and doesn’t seem to have something unique of its own.

So, let’s get it on with the polls — which music streaming service are you using?

Do leave a comment below if you have some thoughts on why you’re using your preferred choice.

wala, I download the music I like, save them to my memory card and play them when I like. streaming music eats up your bandwidth!

Spinnr: Music library sucks, interface is hideous, cheapest. Only Taylor Swift fans uses this
Spotify: No Taylor Swift songs, decent music library, constantly updated, most affordable premium service, the HYPE
Deezer: Clean UI, could be a great Spotify competitor, but bundled in shitty offerings by a carrier
Guvera: Accidentally installed due to a pop-up ad
Rdio: WTF?

Spotify premium is the best, i just download playlists then delete them when i get bored. Plus its all legal :)

I hope netflix arrives here soon, if they offer local content i’m gonna ditch my cable subscription

I tried spinnr but i didnt like that i would have to pay 30/day to listen to a full song. If you just go for the free app it will only play a snippet of the song.
Spotify is good even for the basic/free one because atleast you can enjoy the whole song. I’m now subscribed with the premium and happy with it. I dont mind paying 120/month. Service fee is more reasonable compared to spinnr.

Been paying monthly Deezer Premium for 6months already and I’m pretty much satisfied. Kahit yung mga super old and hindi famous artists na gusto ko nahahanap ko sa collection.

I use “Radio Tunes”. Free service (with premium option) that just requires you to sign up.

Works for portables devices (like smartphones,tablets) and for PCs (just go to the website).

i was able to try spinnr, but music library really feels lacking. I’m guessing smart isn’t actually targetting spinnr to be a streamig service, but a preview channel so you could buy a track/album that you liked.

however, I’m much more accustomed to spotify’s model. as I do not feel the need for mp3 files anymore.

Only thing that i didn’t like in using spotify are some OPM songs like 90’s and early 2000’s that are not in spotify. some old great albums of cool bands now are not present
