      I used Yahoo Music Unlimited back in the day. Was switched over to Rhapsody when they folded.

      I didn't really like Rhapsody, so I moved to Rdio, which I have really liked.

      They are now folding.

      I'm looking for recommendations for a new streaming music service. I want to be able to play the songs I want at any time. If I want to play Miley Cyrus over and over, so be it.

      Suggestions?

            I don't have much of my own music in Amazon, but the Amazon free music is generally OK for the 3 or less hours a month I use it.

              I might try Amazon Prime and see if it has all the music I listen to.

              It not, I'll take a look at Spotify.

              iTunes Music doesn't have on demand, I believe.

                    How long does it take stuff to get there?

                    So you can order any of the same stuff as in the states?

                      Oh, you don't mean radio services but packages? We'd never do that. Never send packages to a country where you don't own your address. You WILL lose everything, no matter what country it is.

                        As a non-world traveler ... what do you mean?

                          When you are not owning a house or are not known by the post office they will rarely deliver you packages and packages can take weeks or months to arrive - meaning often long after you have moved on. Forwarding is impossible, there is no tracking or predictability. There is no means of notifying you or whatever. All of the things that you take for granted in the US living in your own home don't generally exist in other countries. Things like street addresses (we don't have one now), mailboxes, obvious post offices, tracking... you don't have them. So you have no idea when to look for a package and no way to know when you've missed it.

                            So how do you order stuff?

                            I had a .00001% chance of leaving the US before, now a few more zeroes were just added. 🙂

                              You don't. It's that simple.

                                Why would you be doing online Amazon shopping while you were traveling anyway?

                                    They have homes that they live in.

                                      Ah, OK.

                                      So if you have a home and permanent address you are OK.

                                        Of course, because then the postal service knows that you exist.

                                          I've been playing with prime. Would be nice not to have another thing to pay for each month.

                                          But I'm not sure I like it. It seems like I need to add an album/song to my library before playing it? is that right?

                                          I also liked how Rdio gave suggestions, etc.

                                          Not ruling it out yet, though.

                                            That is an option but not a required one. Prime offers direct music that just becomes part of your own library or you can use stations like Pandora but without the ads.
