Digital music

[B1nary]

Hey where do you guys buy music from online, I have very particular taste in music and i hate iTunes, so the ovi store I have used in the past but doesn't always have what i want.

Any suggestions?

Saw an ad for Simfy.co.za, R60 a month for access to their database to download from. Haven't had a chance yet to test it though, they do have a 2 week trial though.

Simfy is streaming isn't it? Not downloading.

Try see if 7digital still sells to us.

Yip. But you can download songs for offline play as well. You just can't move it between devices. What I do is navigate by using the desktop app and pic the songs I want. Then I download them to my phone (which doubles as my mp3 player) via wifi. I have a whole bunch of songs and full albums on my phone available off-line. Works great.

I use to use certain sites where I could download songs for free and as much as I want, but thats if I dont buy the CD first .

Well that's very good to know. I didn't know it was possible, which is why I haven't subscribed to simfy yet

Check out the 2 weeks free before you commit. For me it's perfect, but I can see that it wouldn't be to everybody's needs.

Sorry for the Necro, But thought it best to not start a new thread on this...

So from what iv found out there are 4 main "Music streaming" services available in SA at the moment, those being

Simfy - https://www.simfyafrica.com
Deezer - http://www.deezer.com/
Rara - https://www.rara.com/
Rdio - http://www.rdio.com/

Im looking at one of these as an option instead of constantly downloading music, and rather streaming what ever I want, at a fraction of the cost. The price's are all pretty similar, What I would like to know is a bit of feedback on who's using what, what your opinion is on the different services, if anyone has tried more than one that would be ideal...

There is also Grooveshark, but apparently there are some heavy legal issues going on there...

From what Iv seen im leaning towards Simfy... I like Simfy and Deezer coz they both have the mobile aspect...

Input would be greatly appreciated!
