Currently trying Amazon Prime Music (30 day trial). Seems decent so far. Have never tried any of the alternatives - have any of you?

Just wondering if there is anything else better?

TIA.
 
I use Google Music, it is decent and a huge selection, Pretty sure i saw it being 3month free earlier not 100% on that though but there is defiantly a free trial so worth a shot.

Also there is Spotify and i am sure they offer a free month too so why not once one is run out try another your get a good run of free music that way :)
 
Apple Music?
Spotify?

How much is Amazon Music per month? It's free with Prime so if you like it, perhaps Prime is a better value with all the other bits together?
 
I use Deezer but only because I got a free years subscription with Sonos. Saying that, it's got the majority of stuff I've ever looked for on it and streams in decent quality.
 
Try them all on each device you intend to listen from - each has quite a different experience. I can't stand Deezer's interface but can get along with Spotify.
 
See if you can find any good deals on HUKD, they're all pretty much a much of muchness at this point. I used Deezer for a couple of years because i kept getting given 50% off for X months codes or £1 for 3 months, since switched to Spotify for the student discount and the running functionality.
 
Was using Spotify Premium for quite a few years, but recently switched over to Apple Music after trying their 3 month trial. Finding the service fantastic, and it works better in my car too, which is one of the major reasons I like it.
 
I have an iphone and listen in my car over bluetooth (1 series bmw). I have tried deezer, amazon, spotify and apple music. Apple music is the only one that works properly in my car, I can work the playlists and wheel through the next songs on the car display with full album art, none of the others do that so I have settled on Apple music but still have Amazon as, well its part of prime.

That's very interesting as the mrs had just got a new 1 series and noticed no info or art via spotify. Assume apple music is best on an iphone rather than android.

I thought Deezer was going to be the one as it seems to be on the BMW apps thing but it just didn't work, with Apple Music I see the lot on the screen between the dials (full black panel display) and art appears on main display.
With amazon and deezer all I can do is go forward or back a song and can't see what that next song will be.
This is on a 14 reg car with pro nav and enhanced bluetooth (the maze of what options you need to get bluetooth/art working is tricky!)
I don't use the cradle thing, too much money and I change my phone every year, it takes bmw a good year to bring out the next cradle for each itteration of the iphone. I just get in the car and start it up and handsfree works and music starts :)
