I have Rhapsody


I do too which is now Napster, about to drop it because they no longer support MP3 players.
Yes I like my player over carrying a phone when working/running, but cant find anything like Napster that did the download and go.

almost all of them offer offline downloads. if you don't want to carry your phone with you then you just need something like a watch that allows playback.

I get a lot my surveys that way "Have you visited (restaurant) recently" then they'll ask to rate your experience.

Also they'll ask you trick questions to see if you're being honest. Like they'll make up a fake place and ask if you've been there. They'll cut you if you lie


I get mostly those now. Definitely don't lie. I usually get what I think are me being very close to something in the same strip mall cause I usually never have been to any of the options. Like you go to Walmart and they ask if you went to cricket wireless that's next door thinking you went there.

I used to get a lot of opinion surveys on how I feel about travel or travel magazines then I'd get the same exact survey 1-2 more times weeks later. I guess to see if you are completely pulling answers out of your arse the first time.

Some minor things to consider with Google Play..If you have amazon alexa you cannot use it to play your music from Google Play. Also, if you listen to podcast on google play, you cannot listen to them on your Iphone through Google Play. Just a thought.

You can't use apple music either with Alexa. You can't use apple music or Amazon music with google home. If you have android you can't use apple music at all. They all have restrictions but Google is far more open than Apple.

You're talking about the Unlimited service and not the Prime service?

I've searched some of the bands I like and have saved on Google Play, feels like upwards of half of them are not on Amazong.

Granted, that was a few months ago, but the reason why I can't make the full switch.

This is probably just a preference on functionality thing, but I've always felt that Google Play is so much better than Spotify in just navigating the app, as I think they both offer the same features basically.

Do you have google rewards app? With those surveys I've never had to pay for it either

I have it but there's no way you get enough rewards to pay for Google Play every month?

Google play. YouTube red makes it amazing.

I have Google PLay, what is all the hype in this thread about YT Red that I'm missing?

I don't mean this sarcastically, but is it just the ability to watch music videos that everyone likes? Or is there more to it?

I've had the Rewards app for about 1 year now, never missed a single reward notification, and never spent anything yet.

I have $13 and change saved up.

What i didn't like though is you cant pay partial for your subscription. If you have $5 of credit you cant use it on GPM for one month and have your credit card as the fall back payment for the other $11.
From my experience, it's closer to about $1/month.

I just checked my history, apparently I've only had it for 6 months, feels like way longer.

So about $13 in 6 months for me, so around $2/month actually.


In those 6 months, it looks like I've had roughly 61 surveys come my way, and as I said, I haven't missed a single one.

I have both Tidal and Slacker. Tidal sounds incredible, crisp and full, instead of muddy like most digital audio. It's uncompressed 1,411Kbps FLAC audio. I like listening on my Klipsch towers at home. 128 Kbps highly compressed audio just doesn't cut it.
