I have a three month trial and it’s really not worth it all unless you have a free trial

Paying £13.80 for a whole year just to not have the ads (whilst watching on TV & Tablet) is more than worth it for me. Also the added benefit of being able to download videos at a click of the button is also another added benefit.

Not as good but getting better. I havent dropped my Spotify sub and probably wont.

I'm currently paying full price (£12/month). Is it easy enough to switch to another country or would I need to deactivate first then sign up again with the VPN?

For me YT music was almost as good as spotify, nothing about Spotify made it worth keeping the sub at their price.

Its easy to set up just need access to VPN, change location and rebuy. However, i did read from somewhere that if you have bought YT premium before it won't work on the same account although im not sure how true that is.

If you're paying full price for Spotify you're losing.

I'd had premium prior to going abroad for mine and worked ok. Just logged in, switched country via VPN, refreshed the payment page for the currency I wanted and made a payment, job jobbed.

Used to share with missus and BIL on a family plan but once I tried YT music and saw it was barely any different, was happy to use that.

I just miss the recommendations as they were well tuned after a few years on Spotify.

The bit about YouTube music is that it also includes all the remixes people upload to YouTube, Spotify don't have that.

What Spotify is really good for is that app is in everything, like even some Receivers.

Good point, fair few older hip hop 'mixtapes' I listen to from late 90's, early 2000's that haven't a hope of ever appearing on Spotify.

Its a 5 minutes job, i signed up with NordVPN (They have 30 day money guaranteed) and then set location to Turkey. Log onto YT and hit premium and then you should select monthly or annual options (Annual is 299.99 TRY) and then you pay. For my purchase on the address i put down my home address and all went through fine. Just need to cancel my NordVPN now

Can never tell if you're serious or on the start of some elaborate troll posting.
