Competition and free market is a great thing, in he music industry it is getting hot.

Spotify - I already got it free through my mobile phone contract, but never really liked it. Difficult to merge with own music and integration in car systems with full remote control is patchy. Also when wanting to provide access to the whole family it gets very expensive. Although that is relative as compared to what I used to spend on CDs it's a lot less.

Apple Music - Newly launched, fantastic selection of music, super easy to integrate with your own music, playlists both off and online and sharing with others as well. I also like he whole independent label on it with some great new music. And Zane Lowe's show is brilliant. Sharing this service for unlimited access across my family is £15.99 which about two CDs per month. A very fair price.

However, Amazon Prime has just launch Prime Music. And it is "free" meaning no additional charge to Prime. I haven't tried it yet but it is awesome value for money. Amazon prime was good value for the delivery alone, but then they launched instant video and now music.

It is a very good time to be a consumer with great choice.
 
Prime works on Sonos. Life is good. I've yet to discover whether their selection is also good.
 
I'm curious, music selection looks good, deciding factor will be how the tv compares with netflix

Badly......

I have both and it's very rare there's something I want to watch on Amazon. Also, if you get into something they have a habit of deleting the rest of the series or charging for it.

Urghh that's disappointing.. Nowtv is a b****r for deleting half the series too. Luckily that's just a trial so won't be keeping it.

Just shows that it all depends. I mainly watch Amazon Prime, rarely Netflix besides breaking bad, and also rarely my Sky on demand capability.
 
Netflix and Prime and I have to say we watch more netflix. Had spotify for £5, student discount, not bad for a 57 year old :), but cancelled and switched to apples new offering with 3 free months. Might very well try out amazons though if the content is good, seeing as its free, well with my £39 prime membership (student again) :lol:
