Spotify Premium £4.99/month with UNiDAYS account/login (easy to get)

[beansontoast]

I just signed up for a months free trial of spotify premium and then after that was confirmed I applied the student discount to the account to get 50% off. Here's how:

Free trial (anyone can get this): https://www.spotify.com/uk/freetrial/

Sign up to UNiDAYS* (it's free): https://www.myunidays.com/ - now this is where many people will think there's no chance of them registering but have a look at all of the institutions supported it also includes schools and colleges. You'll need to log in to you or your child's or friends university/college/school to confirm your eligibility - this happens only once and it's within the UNiDAYS site and in my case it was just a username/password affair. *You can use NUS Extra if you have that already, but UNiDAYS is free anyway.

Go here and follow the UNiDAYS link to get spotify premium for £4.99 for up to a year: https://support.spotify.com/uk/learn...udent-Deals-UK



(I know that a reasonable free service exists but I've recently bought a sonos playbar and only spotify premium works via the sonos app, it seems to be a great service anyway.)

make sure you are logged into the correct FB account when doing this cos if your browser is still logged into say your partners FB account it will auto link it to that, and its a pig to get the discount moved to another spotify account, happened to my wife, who is now an ex wife lol, stupid bitch

Have spotify started streaming in 24bit yet? Then I would be interested.

Dunno, the FAQ says this:

What bitrate does Spotify use for streaming?



Spotify uses 3 quality ratings for streaming, all in the Ogg Vorbis format.
~96 kbps
Normal quality on mobile.
~160 kbps
Desktop and web player standard quality.
High quality on mobile.
~320 kbps (only available to Premium subscribers)
Desktop high quality.
Extreme quality on mobile.

Listening to Bron-Yr-Aur (Led Zeppelin) now & it sounds great.

Never mind the amount of bits, lossless first . 24 bit 96k would be great though

They don't have lossless? I'm definitely not going to sign up then...!

£9.99 or £19.99 take your pick (two levels of qobuz subscription).

Closer... But... £20 a month for 16 bit FLAC seems a bit steep. I'd rather add to my Vinyl collection and rip them in 24 bit.

[beansontoast]

Fair enough, it was just an alternative - it seems to be a French service. I think maybe your requirements are not going to be satisfied with streaming services just yet.

I'm really happy with spotify premium for £0/£4.99. I'm able to listen to over 95% of the artists I've searched for so far and the playback is almost instant through my sonos speaker. The convenience is something else entirely, I really would recommend trying the one month free trial just to have a, well, a trial.

spotify is generally excellent at what it does but i too wish it had lossless . I only really use in the car/work and kitchen for casual listening. Its perfectly fine by mp3 standards.

hopefully we will eventually get a lossless option

What A/D do you use for this process out of curiosity?

Well... technically I haven't ripped the vinyl yet. I am in the process of restoring my property. When it is done, I will be buying a tube amp and ripping all my vinyl. I believe audacity is the tool to use.

So you will be using a pc with an a/d in its sound card ? If you have a nice Tt I would suggest using a decent one. I've no idea what's on the market these days. I worked in pro audio design for a long time and always meant to build one for that purpose but never got round to it. I did however build several amps and d/a s.

Thanks for the link. Worked like a charm.

Old post, I know, but is this any good? Thinking about removing all of my music on my server and replace it with this

[BigBrand]

I use Deezer for £1 a month. Not as snappy as Spotify but cheaper!

[SiE]

Spotify is 99p for 3 months premium atm.

I'm still using it and think it's brill, still paying a fiver too. I recently bought some more sonos speakers and qualified for a years free deezer premium which is comparable to the spotify service I was already using. I can also download tracks to my phone via the deezer app (playback via app only) and apparently I could have done this with spotify premium as well. I have found new/old artists is never heard of before using these streaming services, very much appreciated as well.
