    I will maybe not be reliant on it although I will use it mostly. Still keeping the music I have which is extensive enough for most i think. Its a great way to listen. especially on headphones

    Deezer, eh?

    OK - having a look.
    Their Premium Plus service (equivalent to Spotify Premium, I think) is on offer at 99p for 3 months, so I have signed up to that.

    At first listen seems a bit better sound than Spot Premium. Slightly better defined and with a tad more presence.
    At first glance, their classical catalogue looks pretty good. Perhaps not as broad as Spot, but need to look further.
    Deezer's music indexing isn't as good as Spot, which is a bit of a pain. It's also partly incorrect on the album I'm currently playing - not a good sign with so little played so far!

    Yes, Deezer's Premium Plus sound is defo better than Spot Premium so far - should it be?

    Cor - the indexing can be utter bollocks on Deezer. Finding particular classical albums is driving me a bit crazy at times.

    R.E. Deezer, is there any way of obtaining their 'elite' (lossless) serviced without having to buy an effing Sonos...

    Apparently LMS can stream the elite service via the ickStream plugin, but it looks like the signup is only offered to Sonos users...who are unlikely to reap the full benefits of lossless...IMHO
    Cheers, Will

    ...cheers Grant!

    Edit: The world's shortest 'elite' subscription...The LMS ickStream interface to deezer is of limited use, whilst I can find and stream lossless music (which sounds excellent!), I can't add/save anything to a catalogue, or even favourites...perhaps a better plugin will be released...

    ... and back to Spotify for me.

    Deez vs Spot sound quality turned out to vary from recording to recording. Overall Deezer was a bit clearer but also less spacious and more 2D. On consideration, I prefer Spot's way with the music.
    Also the Deez indexing and track info is often appalling for classical listings. A real downer for me.

    Enjoying Spot again.

    ...I entered a search for 'johann sebastian bach', then selected him as an artist, added him to my artist list, around 450 albums to browse through...all of which were junk, 'Chilled Classics', 'Driving Classics', 'OMG it's the Classics!' etc...not good!
