Cloud services arent a good option for many. I dont prefer to stream my music of movies because it would eat all my data and would cost me more in the long run to get more of it. Many are trying to keep their costs down.

I didnt like Spotify and even if it were good, it is still the same thing. Google play Music is good but again, it uses data.


except spotify doesnt actually use your data (assuming you have "offline mode" enabled at all your playlists, which is pretty much standard)
i hate the fact that people dont give spotify a chance. it is by far the best music option out there, right now. so no, it doesnt drain your data.

Yeah...im not interested in paying for it. If i wanted to pay more money for something id just pony up the extra $10 a month for true unlimited data but the thing is, i just got my plan down to where im happy with it and i dont want to add things to it. More space is the best answer. Id rather pay a one time higher price for the phone than pay more in the long run for more data.

Streaming just isnt a good answer for many people. and i prefer not to do it. I dont care how many streaming choices there are. My music is set up on my MicroSD card that i can transfer over to a internal card on the phone. I dont want to spend hours setting up playlists and such on something else.
