Spotify is far from perfect. But it's fairly priced and easy to use.
I looked into using Amazon Prime's similar service, which saved a few bucks a month (since we have Prime, and since my wife and I need a "family plan"). But y'know why I couldn't deal w/ Amazon? Bad UI. Seriously. It actually had some great features that Spotify didn't like integration of local files. But honestly the UI was just so bad that it made it not worth my time. Since the majority of my listening is done in my car, I want to quickly queue up an album or playlist at the start of my commute. I want playlists to be easy to manage etc. This just wasnt't the case. Searching for an artist would first search YOUR LIBRARY, and then give you an option to search the streaming library. Dumb.
That was a while ago though. I'd potentially switch to Amazon's streaming service if the UI was better. I really have no allegiance or anything. Although Sev and me pretty much always overlap interests but then have the exact opposite opinion. And fittingly, I want nothing to do with Apple.
