I use Soundcloud and Spotify. I think Spotify premium is worth it if you listen to it enough.
I do use Youtube quite alot but that's mostly to fall in love with pretty girls who sing and play guitar/piano |

On iPhone IOS I use YouTube and SoundCloud on android devices I use Kodi and go through the developers sources. As long as you have a tinterweb connection they all work fine and are free |

Only an opinion but I think Spotify is brilliant and for 99p for three months, what is there to even think about? |

"On a phone I use spotify but on my tv I use mp3streams through Kodi. It's free and has every kind of music you can think of."
I've just added a new music add on which is available on the ares repo called the music source.
Absolutely brilliant |

I will check that out, I think my build has it already. I am watching Captain America civil war at the moment so I will check later. |

Have a good mooch around Spotify, there are already thousands of existing Playlists or you can make your own. It really is intuitive to use and I really can't see how anyone can feel limited in choice - there is just so much there. |

Ok nerdy folk, what about data costs? Am l being wrongly paranoid about the cost of streaming or downloading music to my mobile phone? Would l need a data package with a monthly limit of 100GB? |

For downloading yes, for streaming not so much. |

wifi or completely unlimited data would be better probably. i have music on 14 hrs a day, every day.
1 mp3 is something like 4gb for decent quality. |

One thing to be aware of with Apple Music is that it examines your had drive, matches your music to its online library (with varying accuracy), then deletes the versions on your hard drive- even if you've burnt your entire CD collection (as I have, nearly 1000 discs), it's gone unless you have a backup  |

I just came here to say the same thing! Do a Google search, and you'll find a lot of people who have lost originals of their own compositions even! |

"Ever since l swapped hard drives and itunes wiped 60gb of music from my ipod l have since not looked at an apple device or entered the apple ecosystem."
you still got that harddrive? you could pull stuff off it by linking it to your computer. the cable to do this is only a few quid off ebay. make sure you get the right SATA. |

Thanks, it was years ago and before apple was clued up. I had just connected the wrong hard drive and itunes synched it and as it could not find anything it wiped the content from itunes. Once l connected the hard drive itunes synched to the music folder and restored the music. But ot was a worrying time. |

i'm music mad, would have been gutted myself to lose a collection of music. at least you sorted it anyway.  |
