Spotify.

[NoshowJones]

I am downloading songs on Spotify. It seems a very good service, if you are on wifi or even your mobile data you can play your songs with a very good sound on the bluetooth ear buds.

You have a choice of the free downloads or you can pay 139Bt per month for playing your music normally without the need for wifi or using your mobile data. I don't mind paying the 139Bt per month, but what is the point if you will already mostly have the wifi or mobile data anyway.

Is there any other advantage with paying the 139Bt per month for always?

Yes... with Spotify Premium ...

- No adverts. 

- Higher sounds quality (320 kbps / standard is 160 kbps)

- Unlimited 'skips' ( normal  typically allows 6 skips per hour )

- Can download up to 10,000 songs (useful when offline and travelling etc)

Thanks. At the moment I have the free version and can still download music, I am not really interested in podcasts. The sound is of very good quality, so unless I am missing something, what is the point of paying 139Bt per month?

Thanks. I think I will pay the 139Bt per month. I assume it will be fine on, ie flights to the UK.

For you, perhaps there isn't  - there's no harm in just having the standard version... 

 

... and, if adverts and not being able to 'skip' as often as you like etc becomes an issue, then you can upgrade then if you like.

Yep.. I fly a lot, so I have most of my Music lists downloaded.

I have Spotify ( free version ) in the car and play it almost constantly, the ads are very short, , it has a huge amount of content, unfortunately the little lady has discovered there’s a lot of Thai music also !!

 

As an aside i also use Radioplayer app via CarPlay ( assuming Android will work also ) which allows me to choose from hundreds of different U.K. radio stations.

The Radioplayer app won’t play any BBC programmes ( Radio’s 1, 2, 6, World Service etc ) but for these i use BBC Sounds app which also has numerous Podcasts, much to my delight i discovered recently Desert Island Discs ( more than 2000 ) are also available and have bookmarked many.

Some classics on there, Ian Wright blubbering brought a tear to my eye I have to admit !!

You can't download music on free version, you can only listen.

I think you mean you can't down load the music on to another device right?

You can only download music on paid Spotify, you can't download music on any of your devices on free Spotify 

On paid Spotify 

As Richard said above...... Can download up to 10,000 songs (useful when offline and travelling etc)

 

You can only listen to music for free, unless things have changed that I'm not aware of.

Spotify is the only "entertainment" I subscribe to, my saved list of favourite songs is 24 hours long

 

If you love music it's a must in Thailand at that price

I used to pay for Spotify Premium. I cancelled it after realising that just about anything I want to listen to is also available on YouTube Premium. On YT Premium, I download the music videos, mixes, podcasts, films, vlogs to my phone for use offline when on a flight. Can also create and download playlists. Of course, there's also access to all the other content on YT such as films and documentarys. All for just 179 Baht per month. Adios Spotify!
