    Anyone use it? I'm a premuim user now. Best thing I ever did. I listen to loads more music than I used to, try out different bands more, can see what my mates are listening to and give it a try.

    The only downside is I find myself listening to playlists rather than full albums.

    Big fan, only problem is when you have 2 kids using it as well, only one of you can be online at the same time so you have to plan to use in offline mode, but kids have it on their phone and I never have to buy any songs or albums!

    I did the free month trial for Premium when we had a BBQ last year and it was great for putting together a play list. Didn't realise on the free version there's a 10 hour limit which we hit in run up to Xmas as we were using it for Xmas tunes!

    As I'm at home most of the time at the moment having been made redundant I'd consider it except ar lass got me an Internet/DAB radio for Christmas so I listen to loads of stuff on there. Various online stations but most of the time it's Planet Rock on DAB

    Personally I think Deezer is better

    Love it. Best tenner I spend every month. Premium service means it can be used offline in the car which is good as I do a fair amount of driving. The only minus is that the way it streams music means dance mixes have a split second gap between tracks which is ultra irritating.

    I had it free with Virgin Media for 12 months, then they wanted to pay for it but I'm not sure my sporadic usage of it justified the tenner a month to use it advert free.

    Cracking service though, it's a good few years ago since I first used it although I have heard they are struggling to make it pay - they have to pay the artist every time a user plays a song and have been running the service at a loss for quite a while.
