Poll of the Day > Spotify vs Google Play Music? Opinions?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have been using Spotify Premium for the past month and overall I'd say I like the features and music selection. However my concern lies with the ease of adding my own music to a playlist. It seems the mobile app is not able to do it on its own and I would have to add my music via the desktop app and then sync the playlist to the mobile app. When most music apps can detect local files and add the songs directly, this approach seems archaic.

A friend then suggested trying Google Play Music instead if I want the same features as Spotify but still be able to add my local music to a playlist. It has been a long while since I have used Google Play Music though but can only hope their selection is better now.

To users of either or both services, which do you find better and why?

Comments and opinions are appreciated,

Thank you

Is there a non-hipster way to say I don't use any service because none of them have the kind of music I listen to?

"I don't use them because they don't have nerdy weeb music" definitely doesn't make you sound like a hipster, though I'm not sure it's much better

I've been sitting and staring at this for a good minute trying to figure out a way, but there really isn't a way to say it without sounding douchey.

Can't one just say "I use neither cause I don't like the music selection"? There's nothing rude about that in my opinion.

I think the problem is that, between those two options, there's such sheer quantity available that one would have to try and find something that's not on there, let alone something that said person actually likes too.

I dont think its hipster/douchey to say that at all. But Ive always listened to electronic music and until recently it was hard to find that stuff, so I understand that problem.

Just dont make it sound like your tastes are superior, its just that what you listen to isnt that popular.

My concern lies not with the ads but the ease of adding my own local music to a playlist. Certain songs do not exist on Spotify but the mobile app is incapable of adding local music. I have to do it via the desktop and sync it.

Well I meant more like they don't have my favorite artists, not that they don't have anything at all that I like.

But I just looked up five different artists, all from different genres, and Spotify had them all; ZARD, Dreams Come True, VAMPS, Garnet Crow, and the brilliant green. So I stand corrected there.
