High time

I trust we will have the same level access to western music as they have. None of this region blocking business i see so often on youtube.

Using Spotify since almost 2yrs. I think signing up via US proxy gives you a US regional account and you get to enjoy all top US etc lists and charts.
Now in India it might be another gaana type platform. And for global music lovers they have to wait or dig deep.

Spotify is clashing with Warner’s publishing arm over the rights to stream its vast catalog of music in India. This includes every track Warner’s roster of songwriters is credited on, totaling over 1 million compositions. But while the spat appears to be limited to India, it’s actually a proxy for a much bigger fight to come.

Lot of artists are not on Spotify as of now because of the clash with Warner.
I am on Amazon prime so Amazon Music is free and has everything.

I am unable to subscribe to the 3 months trial with a VCC, any one had this issue, tried two different cards

I had issues with normal CC and DC. Tried couple of cards, all failed. Ended up taking Amazon Prime

I deleted my spotify account after they started removing Jpop, Kpop and other foreign songs from it. A lot of other countries songs were removed within one month of spotify coming to India and they were pushing only bollywood songs more.
I doubt it was because of licensing issues. Google Music , Apple Music and Amazon both have a lot of such foreign albums for sale or free streaming in their music apps.

Amazon Music has a huge amount of content, especially the genres (classical, oldies etc.) that I listen to. The list is very exhaustive. For the price of Prime, you get both video and music - it’s actually very reasonable.

Used Amazon music for a few days, i just prefer spotify, would like to know if anyone was able to get their 3 months trial.

Spotify just didnt accept any of my Debit or credit cards. Never happened before with any service. So ended up taking Amazon Prime.

***Spotify ***is such a nice Music Streaming app. I am happy that it has launched in India. I like it more than youtube.
Still, I am listening to Music in Spotify.

i am using jiosaavn but spottily is amazing. I will definitely try it now. Thanks for sharing this new…

To those users who are still using that Spotify, how much do you pay and why you do not use free version of it? I have used it a bit, but it seems I may get back to some other desktop applications honestly. And yep, I have conflicted with some cards from it till date.

I use the desktop version with ad blocker and works great. Too many ads on free mobile version

Yearly subscription 699 now.
