Re: The evolution of Spotify

[Donald L. Roberts]

I have my Amazon Echo set up to play both Pandora and Spotify.  I am not 
crazy about the sound of music through the Echo as there are far too 
many mid range sounds rather than highs which I prefer.

Well, there's one echo. Then there is the tap and the dot. All three Alexa, but 
the echo is the largest one, the only one I have. Based on the size alone, I 
would expect it to be the best of the three with fidelity as well.

Re: The evolution of Spotify

Is that echo thing work with premium accounts only on Spotify? Or will it work 
with the free one? I can't imagine playing  The highest quality premium streams 
on an echo, because it doesn't have the Fidelity to warrant that. No stereo. I 
mean it's OK for what it is. But if I were serious about music listening other 
than just as a background thing in the kitchen, I wouldn't use an echo.

X definitely. You can download all kinds of Apple Music. When you stop 
subscribing, of course, you can't play that anymore. I'm sure that would also 
be true with Spotify.

Hi!

If you've not taken a serious look at the Spotify Music platform in a
good while - and you like your music just the way you want it and not
how your local radio station wants it - then take a good look at the
modern Spotify.

I won't go into all the changes I noticed since I last saw it before
today but the changes are numerous and these changes have really given
me something to think about regarding the other Music services I'm
subscribed to, it might very well be that you'll find that Spotify will
provide your each and every need for your music listening habits.
particularly if you're a Spotify Premium user.

I used the Spotify IOS App to do my exploration, I found accessibility
to be first class.

Right now I'm listening to the "Soft Rock" playlist on Spotify through a
Spotify connect device, the Sangean WRF28D portable radio.

Connecting the device wasn't hard to do, I just selected Spotify from
the Source list for the radio using the Undok App, I then opened the
Spotify App from Undok and used the Connect icon at the bottom of the
screen to locate the radio, the music started playing through it when I
double-tapped the "Play" icon.

Exactly and there's never been an argument about that, the question was 
asked what the difference between the two services was and I related the 
experience of Apple Music and Spotify that a friend of mine had.

I think each of the services has stuff they can or cannot stream for some

both comparable.

I can’t comment on Apple Music since I don’t use it and I’ve seen no rea 
need to use it but what I can say is that I know a friend who has both and 
he reckons Spotify has more tracks.
That in itself is a most interesting statement given my friend is older than 
I am and likes tracks from the 60s, 70s and 80s so does Spotify have more of 
those than does Apple music or what?

 I like my premium quality music particularly when I have good quality 
 sound equipment to enjoy it through so - to me - its worth the money and 
 that only equates to 4 cups of coffee per month for both services.

 If you've not taken a serious look at the Spotify Music platform in a 
 good while - and you like your music just the way you want it and not 
 how your local radio station wants it - then take a good look at the 
 modern Spotify.
 
 I won't go into all the changes I noticed since I last saw it before 
 today but the changes are numerous and these changes have really given 
 me something to think about regarding the other Music services I'm 
 subscribed to, it might very well be that you'll find that Spotify 
 will provide your each and every need for your music listening habits. 
 particularly if you're a Spotify Premium user.
 
 I used the Spotify IOS App to do my exploration, I found accessibility 
 to be first class.
 
 Right now I'm listening to the "Soft Rock" playlist on Spotify through 
 a Spotify connect device, the Sangean WRF28D portable radio.
 
 Connecting the device wasn't hard to do, I just selected Spotify from 
 the Source list for the radio using the Undok App, I then opened the 
 Spotify App from Undok and used the Connect icon at the bottom of the 
 screen to locate the radio, the music started playing through it when 
 I double-tapped the "Play" icon.

Re: The evolution of Spotify

Actually there’s some good news on the Spotify and computer front, you can 
access spotify on a Mac though not through the native Spotify App, there’s a 
very good piece of software that accesses multiple Subscription based music 
services such as Pandora, Spotify and Google Music, the App is called 
Musicality.
I’ve not tried this App with Radiotunes yet.

Hi!

If you've not taken a serious look at the Spotify Music platform in a
good while - and you like your music just the way you want it and not
how your local radio station wants it - then take a good look at the
modern Spotify.

I won't go into all the changes I noticed since I last saw it before
today but the changes are numerous and these changes have really given
me something to think about regarding the other Music services I'm
subscribed to, it might very well be that you'll find that Spotify will
provide your each and every need for your music listening habits.
particularly if you're a Spotify Premium user.

I used the Spotify IOS App to do my exploration, I found accessibility
to be first class.

Right now I'm listening to the "Soft Rock" playlist on Spotify through a
Spotify connect device, the Sangean WRF28D portable radio.

Connecting the device wasn't hard to do, I just selected Spotify from
the Source list for the radio using the Undok App, I then opened the

Re: The evolution of Spotify

[Dane Trethowan]

I can’t comment on Apple Music since I don’t use it and I’ve seen no rea need 
to use it but what I can say is that I know a friend who has both and he 
reckons Spotify has more tracks.
That in itself is a most interesting statement given my friend is older than I 
am and likes tracks from the 60s, 70s and 80s so does Spotify have more of 
those than does Apple music or what?

 Right now I'm listening to the "Soft Rock" playlist on Spotify through a

Actually let the truth be told I think Spotify sounds a little better than 
radio tunes but the difference isn’t startling, both are damn good.

That's the topic I'm thinking about yes.

I've listened to "Soft Rock" in the background on Spotify for 3 hours 
this morning and not one repeat, wish I could say the same for Radiotunes.
The quality is slightly better with Spotify, not as processed sound but 
both are very good.
I'm subscribed to radiotunes and Spotify so I think I'll keep both for 
the moment and be blessed that I have both Spotify and Radiotunes at my

 Hi Jane, I know you are a RadioTunes subscriber. Are you considering dumping

that RadioTunes was going to offer a greater variety of "radio stations" such 
as several classical and several smooth jazz. It look like Spotify just had one

If you've not taken a serious look at the Spotify Music platform

Connecting the device wasn't hard to do, I just selected Spotify 
from the Source list for the radio using the Undok App, I then 
opened the Spotify App from Undok and used the Connect icon at 
the bottom of the screen to locate the radio, the music started 
playing through it when I double-tapped the "Play" icon.

Wouldn 't have a clue, I know you can't see it but who cares! so long as 
you can hear it offline.

Hi!

If you've not taken a serious look at the Spotify Music platform 
in a good while - and you like your music just the way you want 
it and not how your local radio station wants it - then take a 
good look at the modern Spotify.


I won't go into all the changes I noticed since I last saw it 
before today but the changes are numerous and these changes have 
really given me something to think about regarding the other 
Music services I'm subscribed to, it might very well be that 
you'll find that Spotify will provide your each and every need 
for your music listening habits. particularly if you're a Spotify 
Premium user.


I used the Spotify IOS App to do my exploration, I found 
accessibility to be first class.


Right now I'm listening to the "Soft Rock" playlist on Spotify 
through a Spotify connect device, the Sangean WRF28D portable radio.


Connecting the device wasn't hard to do, I just selected Spotify 
from the Source list for the radio using the Undok App, I then 
opened the Spotify App from Undok and used the Connect icon at 
the bottom of the screen to locate the radio, the music started 
playing through it when I double-tapped the "Play" icon.

First class, MP# at 320K I'm listening to here though as I said, I'm a 
premium subscriber and I don't think free acoutns get access to such 
high quality.
