It's Google Play for now. Great desktop (when chrome is in --app mode) app, pretty abysmal android app. It's not without its faults either.
I did't mention the competitor because my primary complaint was to raise more awareness about the things Spotify could fix to bring me (and others) back as customers -- Not to drive business to someone else.
Sure, understood. I appreciate the heads up, though - I'm in a similar position, myself.
A bit of a tangent, but I'm also having some issues swallowing the "pay for a license" pill in a lot of respects, e.g. Spotify and Steam (of course, we all do it anyway), so if there's a chance to continue to do that but also own things, or otherwise move away from that ephemeral type of usage, then I'm interested, so always interested to learn more about alternative products.
I think Google Music's Android app is preferable to Spotify's. Spotify was really bad with skipping/popping in the middle of tracks, even when they claimed to have fixed that. And I was experiencing problems with hard crashes and restarts of my phone while running it.
