all these new innovations seem to be passing me by a little, im interested in finding out if they can work for me.
i trialled spotify a year or so ago and didnt take it up, as i just like listening to 6 music mainly and wasnt using it to its max. i use a squeezebox touch for playing 6 music and also my music stored on laptop.
what will google play give me that i dont know i need yet? 😀
i sort of picture my ideal to be listening to 6 music, hearing a song i like, and ‘storing’ it somewhere to listen to when i like, possibly with a load of other songs chosen the same way, and played at random at weekend when i dont particularly care for 6 music too much.
am i right in thinking if i pay a tenner a month, i ‘upload’ my collection somewhere? otherwise how can i access my music stored locally if say my laptops switched off (on a plane journey say)
im also about to buy a chromecast, which apparently supports streaming the music on google play. dont really understand that tho. if CC streams anything on my laptop anyway, why would i need GP to get involved?
thanks for any snippets of info
EDIT: just another question if you dont mind. ive been googling it, and see you buy movies to stream on GP too. or tv series. take one example, luther. its for sale for £6.50 for season 3. if i bought it, do i own it? or am i paying to stream it only? also it says you can d/load films to watch offline. so is that the only way of physically owning the film? or do you only ‘own’ films and music whilst youre paying the subs?
i seem to remember thinking thats how the kindle works, you buy books but theyre stored online only.
thanks again
