Cant afford new headphones...

I use Bloom.fm which allows you to download 20 tracks and swap them as much as you like for £1 amonth - not a bad deal at all. When I want to listen to a full album I use Spotify.

When I'm out and about it's the Sansa clip+ MP3 player.

I used to do Spotify, but my computer won't even open the thing anymore. So now, I use either Deezer or YouTube. Sometimes, I use Grooveshark.

YouTube to download videos as mp3s. For my jukebox wallboxes/adapter/ipod to hifi system. Yes they're compressed, you can usually find one, that with a good amplifier and speakers, is hard to tell isn't from from one of your CDs.

"Music Notes" to buy legit pdf copies of sheet music at half the store price.

"Box" to upload my leccy piano recordings to share with other interested parties.

I've gone back to ITunes after using spotify premium after over a year, just because iTunes has everything I need and easier to manage.

I mainly use YouTube, soundcloud, 8tracks and I have an app called music download pro, if I can't get the song on iTunes then I download it via YouTube to mp3 on that.
Also listen to a few podcasts.

None. I've got 9000 songs on my Ipod and it goes everywhere with me.

Youtube for music videos/streaming
Grooveshark for streaming
iTunes for buying
Google Play for buying (if I want a song on my Android devices)
Youtube to MP3 for songs I can't get anywhere else (I know IT Law lecturers don't approve, but anyway )

I tend to listen on my Macbook Pro, Macbook Air or iPod. The iPod goes everywhere with me. I don't use expensive headphones as I have a tendency to break them and I've had a lot of headphones and chargers break on me over the last few months...

I buy vinyl, streaming and downloads just don't sound right.

Are there any Missings left? There used to be about five of them but I thought they'd all closed.

So few revolutionaries on here then?
It seems most listeners have signed up to the maintenance of the Capitalist machine.
Spotify, Youtube, Amazon, iTunes, Vimeo......

I admire you TheTruth1983 for pushing the alternative agenda but it seems everyone ends up conforming to the standards of big biz who have basically recolonised the distribution space.

I go to the alternative labels I know Projekt, Cherry Red etc and see what they have on catalogue. A bit old fashioned perhaps?

Free market Capitalism, that is what I believe in. I hate to see monopolies develop so I encourage people to look at the alternatives because competition leads to better outcomes for everyone.
