CVByrne Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Yes the combination of the radio feature, which is essentially Pandora meets Spotify. It's giving me music I love but never knew existed. When video becomes all access. That's the dream. Google make it happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) I see, I do like to own my music though. So do I. Until I find more of my own music. edit: completely misread. You can buy any of it you want, but you can store any of the streaming stuff offline anyway so you almost do own it. I started a radio station from a Manics song the other day and it took me right through my indie teens and brought back some amazing memories. Here's the playlist it created Edited September 14, 2013 by darrenm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Just signed up for the free trial for Google All Access music. You get a whole month for free, which you can use on all your devices. Spotify give you 2 days free trial with their 'unlimited' service on your mobile devices. Spotify was good, but Google is All Access is £7.99 if you sign up to the trial before tomorrow (do it!), and £9.99 thereafter. So far seems every bit as good as spotify. I like the UI. And the selection of music seems good, but it'll take me a while to decide on that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the playlist it created Will check that playlist out. I just mean that its great now that you can store it to play offline but I just worry that when we move on from streaming music I won't have the songs like you do if you buy it. Having said all this I'll probably sign up at £7.99 to discover music and buy what I really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I've signed up too. Google do miss the mark massively with some of their stuff but this seems like something they'd do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I've signed up. I've selected some music to play offline. Do you then have an option to listen to this offline or do you have to switch your data off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you then have an option to listen to this offline or do you have to switch your data off? If it's offline the app knows it doesn't have to stream it so will use the offline version even if data is on. You can switch the app to offline music only anyway.

Guest Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I'm giving it a go on my Three sim, hoping I can get through a journey here without buffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted September 16, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2013 In real world terms, I can confirm that the Snapdragon 800 chipset is blooming fast. It renders websites at Core I7 laptop speeds. It's bloody amazing. Those of you who are about to upgrade, pick a phone that has it. Nexus 5 for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Finally getting my S3 replaced, going to trade it in for an Ipod Touch or a Nexus 7 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Have to say. Weekend of use of All Access. It's an excellent service and well worth the price. To have all the live albums you wouldn't normally buy makes it so much more useful. So much music and helps you discover more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 When paired with a Chromecast which is plugged into your HiFi system it takes on a high other dimension. I'm looking to get a Cheapcast setup going with some old phones, so anywhere in the house I can just push the music to any of my audio systems.
