What is good and bad in the music service

Musical strimingovye services stormed into our lives. Spotify, Deezer, Google Music, Beats Music, «Yandex. Music "and others have replaced our music collections on computers and social networks. So whether these services are good and what are their weaknesses? Try to understand.

Our parents store their music on the plates and coils. We caught the era of cassettes and CDs. But the digital age and the rapidly falling prices of hard disks and solid state led us to store music on computers.

Tens of thousands of tracks by various artists began to take place only on the computer, and no longer need a separate shelves and cabinets even with cassettes or discs. But everything comes to an end, and possibly music strimingovye services - is the beginning of the end of local music libraries. However, everything has both pluses and minuses.

Benefits

1. It is impossible to lose

The plates may be damaged if dropped, not crashed. Film cassette chewed and torn, and it had to glue varnish or PVA. CDs scratch and give errors when reading. But the music that is stored somewhere on the internet, nothing will happen. It can not be lost or corrupt, you will not hear wheezing or creaking. This is probably the biggest plus music strimingovyh services.

Interesting fact: only in 2015, digital music sales equaled sales of music on physical media.

2. The huge music library

Almost all the music services are complimented by a library of more than 20 million tracks. It really is a huge figure. Assuming that an average of one track lasts 3.5 minutes, you will need 135 years to pereslushat all this music. Of course, you do not like all the music in the world, but even if you give preference to one percent of all the performers, then you will be available to more than 200,000 tracks.

3. Low price

And to be precise, the relatively low price. Our author Sasha Murakhovski not tired to repeat this dignity Spotify, Google Music and others. A music album from the iTunes Rihanna costs 149 rubles. You will be available 14 songs for 149 rubles. 10 rubles for the track - not too expensive. And here is the cheapest subscription music service "Yandex. Music "(or Google Music) will cost you the same 149 rubles, the only open access to more than 17 million songs.

disadvantages

1. you need to pay

If you wish to listen to music, you need to pay. Remember how walked "musical drugs" on the internet? So, Spotify and Deezer - is very real musical drag-dealers. Paying from 150 to 500 rubles, you get access to a huge music library. But only for 30 days. As soon as you stop paying, access to music will be closed. You have to pay again, and so on until the end of life.

2. Own music player

As soon as you start using strimingovye services, you have to forget about your music player. Yes, we understand that you like its appearance, you have it long and hard to set up for themselves, and it works just the way you like it. But you will use what you have done for developers Spotify, Deezer, Beats Music, and so on. And I can assure you, is not always their players even reach the average level.

3. What if the service is going to die?

Okay, suppose you continue to regularly pay their money for the music service, but where is the guarantee that he will not be closed in a few months? For example, Google loves to cover their services, even if they are still popular. If the service is closed, lost, and your access to the multi-million dollar music database. Your entire music library will disappear and you will have to begin anew, but this time with another music service. And get used to the new music player.

4. The lack of specific tracks

Despite the millions of tracks that are available to you in just a couple of hundred rubles, you can not find your favorite artist. For example, Spotify is not available in most of the tracks singer Taylor Swift. Relatively recently, "Yandex. Music "base was much poorer. If a particular track is not in iTunes, you can just select a different online store. But with strimingovymi services do not work.

5. Difficulties with the use of

In addition to problems with getting used to the player from the developers of the music service, you can be, you have to suffer with the registration. The best, in my opinion, the music service - Spotify - is not available in Russia. Of course, there are many detours, But still not be able to just pick up and use it.

And what you do not like music strimingovyh services? Why did you start to use them and how to choose?
