online music for android.
Hi guys, old tech challenged guy needs help.
What site do you recommend to purchase music that can be downloaded to a phone and Ipod? Anything but Itunes. Im done with that ****show. Where we boat has no signal so streaming is not an option. Load the phone or pod, hit bluetooth and go. So I am ready to buy all new music. Where do I go? Windows 10 . android phone and an unknown ipod Im buying soon. Thanks. John |
Pandora plus supports offline play. I buy cds off ebay and rip them with media player onto a hard drive. Them copy to my phone. Don't really care much for buying songs with DRM.

Monthly subscription to spotify. $5 a month, you can stream any artist from your phone, build playlists and save them to play offline. If worried about data usage, make sure you use it from wifi when downloading music.

Just curious. What don't you like about iTunes?

OOOHHHHH.. OK now I get it.

Depends on the usage. Spotify is the best for desktop/fat client usage but I found it lacking on mobile (iOS at least). I ended up switching to Apple Music. Spotify may have improved their mobile offering in the last 6 months or so, but when I get in my car, I want my music to just start. I don't want to have to pull my phone out of my pocket, open the app, and manually get it going every time. First world problem, I know.

If you are already paying for amazon prime, you might as well check out the music app (you're already paying for it). Selection isn't quite as broad as spotify, but it's still going to take you the rest of your life to listen to 1M songs.

spotify plays through BT on my android. can control it from console as well

Dunno if it's an apple/bmw thing (one or the other always seems to be breaking bluetooth) but spotify would never autostart/pick up where it left off - it was super annoying. Haven't had any issues since switching.

In my car stereo Pandora bluetoothed from my phone starts up right where it left off. In my truck, which has a bluetooth to FM adapter it has to be manually restarted on my phone every time.

soundcloud - Tropical House
Doesn't help the OP's issue but if you have reception there is tones of great music which is perfect for the boat. Upbeat without feeling like your at a rave and non offending to everyone else. Just great upbeat music. Look up Kygo or Thomas Jack. Lots of 1-2 hour sets. |
