I often travel in remote areas and am looking for a music service where I can download some old time music to listen to during these times.

I am not a big music buff and struggle with paying a Spotify Premium account when I only want 20-30 songs to listen to.

I dont mind paying for a service but $180 a year for my requirements seems high.

Does anyone have any thoughts to help.

Thanks

You can buy individual songs on Amazon and download the mp3.

You can also go through this list of legal music services in New Zealand and see if any fits what you need.

It would work out cheaper to buy the songs for $1 each or what ever it is on Itunes than pay for a years worth of Spotify.

I am the worst at setting a playlist then getting to work, i just chop and change (might as well be ADD) but I hear good things on their suggested playlists. It will find your taste and give you more similar to it.

i use spotify premium for this all the time..

often my spotify cache is 10+GB and honestly... music generally plays from there rather than actually downloading playlists.

When i go on long drives (eg this chirstmas when i drive to fielding for partner..) I tend to setup one of my Ommis on the car roof and just use a hotspot for the extra gain (my plans are shared to hotspot sim so its not a difference in data usage for me.)

on spark this tends to leave me with connectivity for atleast 95% of the travels... and when it does drop off, everything is still playing from the cache :)

Technically to do what i do premium isn't required, but often the ads are streamed and annoying...

why not purchase the songs the 20-30 sings and keep them forever
