Spotify Or Napster?

[The Boofon]

Just bought a Sonos Play 5 (ace sound) and currently using the 30 day free trial of Napster. Have to say I'm impressed. It's found every song we've thought of in it's database.

 

Is Spotify even better? Heard loads of good things about it but Napster is kicking arse at the moment.

Spotify for me Boof. But I've never used Napster so I'm probably no use to you as I can't compare them. Got a Sonos Play 3 though, really happy with that. Think my next addition will be a couple of Play 1's.

I've never used napster.

 

I am however, a Spotify user. I buy the premium for 10 quid a month so I'm allowed to download any of the playlists I've created onto my phone and pc so i don't have to be online to listen to them.

 

The feature I like best though, is the radio. You choosea song, artist or genre, and it starts to play similar songs that it thinks you'd like. I've found hunners of songs I haven't heard or forgotten about thanks to that little beauty.

 

Edit: there are quite a few popular artists not on it though, oasis, Metallica and the Beatles are probably the most notable ones!

I use the Play with Spotify - I've never used Napster since it became pay-to-play but I'm a Spotify fan boy.

 

It integrates with the Sonos app for your phone (I guess Napster does too).

 

Pretty sure you can trial Spotify Premium as well.

Aye you can. I didn't need to register with Napster so that trial started first. Will fire up Spotify after the Napster trial finishes.

I was a Last.fm man but it appears the emergence of Spotify has all but killed the functionality on it.

What's the power output on a Sonos 5?

80 Watt according to tech spec.

I got a Play3 about in August and this thread inspired me to take it out the box. Been pissing off the neighbours all night.

Good stuff Bluto. I used to download all my music illegally on old Napster and Kazza back in the day, but always would end up buying it on CD / Vinyl. These days I just use word of mouth or Youtube and get most my CD's / Vinyl on Amazon
