Just got the HTC One, so I decided its time for a new music app. I have the basic Spotify on my computer and was going to wait to get my phone and try out the trial of Google Play before I decided on which one to use.

Been playing around with it tonight, its extremely easy to add music to your library. The radio brings up a playlist of songs that are on it and you can skip as much as you want. You can also add music to your library and playlists directly from the radio (can you do this on Spotify?) Its also $2 cheaper a month than Spotify.

I might do the trial of Spotify Premium then decided which one to keep. I'm really digging Google Play Music right now though.

I like it but I'm sticking with Spotify. Main reason being that my girlfriend and I can both use my Spotify account. If she wanted to use Play Music she would have to use my google account on her phone and that would seriously mess some stuff up

Never used the spotify app so I couldn't tell you. Not like you're ever going to use Google play anyway

At the same time? I was considering it if we could share, but it always kicked out the other user when you logged in. Same deal with Google.

Yes, much easier

I have used Spotify, Slacker, and now Google Play

I really liked Slacker, because I could be signed in on my phone and iPad at the same time. However, it recently has been full of problems and their customer service has been horrible. The last time I reported a problem it took them three weeks to get back to me.

I only use Google Play now. It is not perfect, but it is very good. As someone already said, if you sign up now it is two dollars cheaper. Also, I have noticed it seems to have some albums that were unavailable on Slacker.

Until Google comes out with apps (and a desktop app) I don't know why I'd use it over Spotify. Spotify is easier to create playlists I think, and I don't like using the web interface vs. an app.

Go offline mode and multiple people can use it, just make sure you have some playlists already synced.

Yeah that's the only downside right now. I haven't compared the apps yet though. I might end up using free Spotify on my computer and premium Google play on my phone
