I don't know if this is the correct subforum but what the hey...
 

I'm interested in subscribing to a music streaming service just wondering which one would be better, spotify or google play music?

Pros and cons... Currently using spotify free version.

Xbox Music is amazing.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Both systems have free trials so you can TRY BOTH and then decide!

Firstly. Not this is the complete wrong subforum. This should be in general discussion or off topic.

 

I would just stick with spotify (maybe go premium) or Pandora? Apple is also doing some stuff with Music streaming I think.

You can be stupid and go for Tidal which is just completely crap considering what they're offering is nothing compared to existing one's

Playing around with the free trial to Apple Music, it looks promising

 

It's like being able to browse the iTunes catalog and listen to nearly anything you want...though I guess that's what they were going for lol

Spotify is good, I personally like Rdio's interface a bit more though. (Check both out, this is after all just my opinion). 

 

Google Music (if I recall correctly) doesn't have a desktop interface...all of your interactions happen in a web interface, correct?

I myself typically just use pandora + adblock, it works pretty well, havent had a single ad on there in a long time.

 

I recently have been listening to stuff on soundcloud instead as theres plenty of music on there and you get stuff more related to what you want as well.

Spotify is the best music streaming service, especially for subs. :)

You say you are from the Philippines, while I would recommend XBox Music (soon to be called Groove Music, as it was never related to XBox beside entertainment side of things at a technical level within the company), from the list of choices that I see, Spotify is pretty much the only choice you have.

Then you have some specificity services, like Radio Republic, which is Filipino music only, for example.

Having used Google Music, Spotify & Apple music, I'd personally recommend Spotify. I feel Google & Apple's discovery and navigation kind of sucks, I find myself getting frustrated with them. As Spotify is a clean and easy to use with great discovery, i've found so much more music with this service that I never heard.

 

Spotify gets my vote!
