Google play or Spotify?

Vague

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but what one would you recommend out of these? Planning on buying premium on one of these.

Pick your poison, both are pretty much the same though I tend to lean towards Spotify.

I don't know much about Google Play, but with Spotify I use it all the time, and I've never really seen the point in buying premium unless you want the ability to use it on your phone.

I like the fact spotify has software download for desktop and then Google's layout is is cool and there is some songs that aren't on spotify

I tend to use it on my phone plus the higher bitrate is cool.

Pandora ONE

Pandora is horrible, Free is really shitty audio quality(You'd be better off with youtube since you can pickout what you want to play as well) and you're forced to six limits EVEN when paid.

 

And every single time i would get passed my six limits it would play something like Mumford & Sons when i was on Alice in Chains or something like that. Like seriously?

 

And if you don't believe me on the audio quality http://help.pandora.com/customer/portal/articles/90985-audio-quality

 

 

Oh and this is funny. free spotifly is almost the same bitrate as paid pandora

Aka, Pandora is outdated and needs to go away.

Nuuuuu, I think you missed the saying, or its just before your time. And, no, the bitrate is not the same, not even remotely in the same galactic quadrant. More so any bitrate above 256 is pretty much wasted.

Can't say I have any real experience with Google, but I've paid for premium on Spotify for a couple years now and it's honestly worth it imo...If they don't have the song you want (which is rare) you can upload it to your Spotify library, then sync your mobile device and you'll have it there as well. On top of that, playlists are so easy to manage and the ability to download entire playlists at once is so nice for a mobile device if you don't want to wait for it to buffer. 

 

Spotify's "radio" feature is actually pretty nice, basically Pandora without the ads and unlimited skips if you end up paying for premium, and the recommendations on it I found to be a lot better than Pandora simply because you can base radio "stations" on your playlist, not just one genre of music which I found cool. Once you get past the annoying social aspect of the damn thing (sorry, but who the hell wants their facebook friends knowing what they are listening to 24/7? You can disable feature, kind of a hassle though)

It's not because spotify is bad featurewise, but more the quality we are talking about. I use it to. Just because i have my note 3, gaming pc and a laptop

The only service i know of that streams flac quality music. Is a streaming service called wimp HI-FI. Though for some reason it's only made to smartphones, and some special speaker brands. For new though.

Plus it will Cost you 36 dollars a month.
