Spotify vs Deezer
Discussion
Hi,
After nearly 8 years of being a very happy Google Play Music user (coming from Spotify before that), I'm now going to move to another service.
The reasons for this are mainly two fold, in this order:
Anybody who can give me any pointers. Like I said, I used spotify almost a decade ago and I remember the interface to be clunky, much like iTunes (if you want to copy any user interface, that's one hell of a place to start
). That said, Play Music played in the browser only so...
PS: I deliberatly narrowed it down to these two for the two reasons. No others meet these criteria.

The reasons for this are mainly two fold, in this order:
- Family subscription, my wife and I listen to nothing else and are often taking over eachothers stream. This is the main reason. (google offers it but not in Belgium)
- Integration with my receiver (Onkyo), this would negate my chromecast audio and less devices is always better, right?

I just went from Play Music to Spotify because Amazon Echo doesn't support Play Music and it is a right pain in the arse to move playlists etc over. I couldn't find anything to do it properly. In the end I had to make a playlist with one song from each album and import it into Spotify and then go into each song and add the album. If there are only 2 of you and you like the service then I'd be tempted to just get 2 subs and pay $5 more.
Already found it, this handy script did it in seconds

I made a Deezer account and a new spotify account, spotify has Spotify Connect though which seems like a better solution for my receiver than the Deezer solution.
Will test it out, really digging the Win 10 app for Deezer though.
It's not just the two of us though. I stayed with Play Music all this time because I've got an old grandfather scheme, paying only $8/month.
