Google Play Music

I have to admit I'm a fan of Google Play Music. It's much better than iTunes.

They organize music in the most efficient way, in my opinion. Multiple database views.

I noticed the number of Apple users is very low, and I think it's because they can't figure out the different views and how they offer a better experience. They're used to everything on one page as a list.

What do you guys think? Is the relational database view working for you?

What is the sound quality?

I personally cannot stand compression buzz.

Sound quality is the same across all the services. Some claim higher quality, but I can't hear it. There's no compression buzz.

It's way better than vinyl, cassette, 8-Track, and reel-to-reel. hahaha.

Mostly my comment is about the way Google organizes the music. It's far superior to simple playlists. Easier to pick up on new music that you might like.

You need good earbuds. I use Jaybird X.

Are you actually paying $9.99 per month for that music? $119.88 per year. $1198.80 for 10 years.

I used to spend $5-$10 a month buying the songs, and listening to free Pandora. Music is like buying movies. Soon your collection becomes boring. And what about all the stinker movies you wish you didn't buy.

The $1.29 per song adds up pretty quick too. I have an eclectic taste and listen to so many different genres, that it's worth it to me. A lot of the oldies are being re-recorded and updated, especially the older pop music. And you just can't find that stuff a la carte anywhere else.

Compared to my booze and herb budget, that's nothing. Hahaha.

In the "good ol days" of albums, cassette tapes, etc. you could record off the radio to your line-in on your Akai Reel-to-Reel deck, and you could edit the tape into a favorites collection.

Then you had to buy cds and rip the tracks for your mp3 player. That was expensive. The whole CD generation was a giant money grab.
