I started listening to music legally and for some reason it is still inconvenient

Five reasons which prove that strimingovye services - it is not so convenient, as is commonly believed.

Over the past two years I have tried all the services strimingovye big three: Apple Music, «Google Play Music" and "Yandex. Music. " We had to use a less popular Deezer and Zvooq. This experience led me to a disappointing conclusion that all strimingovye services are terrible. And that's why.

1. The music library is not the right tracks

Lack of favorite tracks - a real headache for those who decide to stop stealing music. This is most clearly manifested in the music library "Yandex. Music ", in which it is impossible to find discographies even such popular artists as Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand.

Far left and «Google Play Music", in which the basis of only two tracks Rammstein. Many services allow you to download the songs, and it partially solves the problem. Only it is inconvenient and not very legally, so that does not count.

If you listen to underground music, then your requests can not cope even Apple Music. Many musicians do not bother to upload their tracks to strimingovye services, extending them to more suitable Bandcamp, SoundCloud or, if all very bad, "VKontakte".

So the process of creating an ideal library turns into a titanic work: it is necessary to piece together what is scattered all over the internet. Of course, you can subscribe to Boom and listen to what was going to for years in the playlist "VKontakte", but this shop ever closed down.

2. Tracks and albums are lost

Tracks you listened to yesterday, may be a "gray" and not play. This is not a glitch service - is the complex nature of relations between rightholders and platforms. Sometimes the songs and albums are removed or perezalivat. As a result, they disappear from the cache or from the library service.

This is not a very common problem. In the two years since Apple Music I met her a couple of times. But still my attitude to his player in the smartphone has changed. Now I have never 100% sure whether there is there anything that I need.

3. No music in high quality

Most services offer music with a bitrate of 256 or 320 kbit / s. An outsider in this field - Boom with a random user bit rate music, as leader - Deezer with access to the lossless-tracks for 339 rubles per month. In this case, the service does not go towards the owners of mobile devices with good sound chips and gives access to FLAC only in the desktop mode.

Of course, you can buy music in FLAC and ALAC separately, but if we are talking about package offers audiophile, choose not anything else.

4. Inconvenient to store music

To add yourself to any album or playlist, you need to click once on the "Add", and then again to save music to listen to offline. Algorithms in different services may vary, but music downloads extensive discography - always a pain.

If we talk about discographies popular performers, is a risk to download the same song several times: by album, maxi-singles and various compilations Greatest Hits. And appear in your smartphone endless duplicates Let It Be and Bohemian Rhapsody.

5. All use different services

When I was asked to throw off the track or playlist, I do not know how to do it. My link to the Apple Music does not help to those who subscribed to the "Yandex" or Google Play. The most universal becomes a "Yandex. Music "with free online listening, but it's still uncomfortable. I do not want anything to look and make playlists from other services. I want to click "Submit" and allow computers to solve human problems for themselves.

The fact that the song - is encoded file that can not be transferred via Bluetooth or save on a flash drive, for many unthinkable. It is hoped that one day will come to us SpotifyAll together it will subscribe and be able to share music in a couple of Taps. None of the other services failed to unite and half of those with whom I share my music.

No matter how awkward listening to music legally, to be a pirate in 2018 even worse. Some solutions to bypass the locks are still found on Android, but users of Apple's much easier to pay a few hundred rubles, than to suffer from the creation of an illegal music library.

Streaming and legal content has not yet come into our lives completely, but rock albums with trackers is somehow even indecent. If you are still in doubt, start to pay for music or not, I've got bad news for you - sooner or later you'll have to do it. And even worse, it will have to pay including the lack of tracks in the databases of the services, the inability to share music with everyone and instability of their own offline collection.
