    ...I've never really used streaming services.

    Considering the abundance of free music online, I never felt the need to pay a services for it, but I do use a few services: I Heart Radio, Pandora, Soma FM and Tune-in. What's nice is that all these are available through my Echos.

    My wife has Spotify but I don't use it. If I want to listen to
    something I can find it on youtube or random stuff on the services you
    mention, plus I have a large CD collection ripped to my computer so I
    can hear what I like.

    "What's nice is that all these are available through my Echos." Huh! Interesting. How does that work exactly?

    I revisit the free ones from time to time. But the content
    isn't always up to par with what known and highly successful
    musicians seem to produce.

    Spotify's AI experiments with different ways of presenting new
    music. Sometimes it's spot on (pun intended) and sometimes not
    so much.

    Spotify also comes in handy when I want to discover and compare
    all the cover versions of a particular song and just play them
    all in a row. It's fun to find a cover version that truly is a
    work of art that may otherwise go missed.
