Re: How do you store your music?
I too have an external hard drive, a 2TB one which is 2000GB. It has all of my 8500+ albums on it, most in MP3 format, plus loads of self-compiled collection, live concerts, videos, films and it's still only half full. I use USB sticks a lot, mostly for the car.Re: How do you store your music?
I find streaming invaluable when I see an album I'm not too familiar with, perhaps on your thread, I can just find and play it very quickly.Re: How do you store your music?
Re: How do you store your music?
You pay £7.99/£9.99 a month to Spotify/Apple Music/Google Play Music a month and have access to their libraries which are some 30 million songs. You can then play or download for offline listening any songs, albums you want. Bit rate is usually 320kbps on Google Play Music though Spotify uses ogg and Apple Music aac. They sound good enough, anyway, and you'd have to have golden ears to spot the difference from the lossless of CDs. There are a few streaming services which are lossless or even higher resolution but I regard them a waste of money.Re: How do you store your music?
Re: How do you store your music?
I think we posted at the same time but I've mostly answered above. Downloading means that you can keep these albums on your phone and listen without an internet connection. You are looking at about £8 to £10 a month for a streaming service with the companies often offering the first month or sometimes 3 months free for new customers. You can listen to or download as much as you want.Re: How do you store your music?
Re: How do you store your music?
Well, I know that all the services have a month or sometimes 3 free before you start paying so you could give it a go. I'd recommend Google Play as it's the only one you can upload music to - I have my entire collection on there as well as a hard drive.
