Anyone try the Beats Music service yet? - GoFuckYourself.com

I figured with all the recent hoopla about Apple's acquisition of Beats I'd take them up on their 14 day free trial. I'm liking it so far. The curation of the playlists and the recommendation engine so far is pretty nice. I like "The Sentence" portion of the service and it picks out music I've never really heard, or versions of songs I've never heard, from genres I like. I like a wide range of music so it's interesting to see what comes up for me.

I liked it, even more so than Spotify. I decided to go with Spotify simply because Beats had a family plan, but only opened it to selected users (Verizon customers only). If you don't want my money, I'm not going to give it to you.

I can get Spotify for $4.99 a month, so unless Beats can match that or give us a family account...then it's Spotify for now.

Spotify is amazing. I had premium until my card expired. Need to set it up again really.

Might give this a try. I used Last.fm but they've recently shut down the streaming radio, which gave awesome recommendations.
