My use of music on-the-go has always been very simple. I had a blackberry...no music on my phone. I had iTunes and various iPods. Whether in the car, on bike ride, or walking the dog, I was always covered.
Now, with the S7, I'd like to up my music game a bit. I've read a bunch of articles about the different services, and it seems to always come down to either Spotify or Google Play Music. Apple Music still seems to be going through its initial evolutionary steps (at least on Android), and it looks like Amazon music just has much less of a selection.
Not sure which way to go here. One of my BIGGEST priorities is battery life, and I have read a ton about how Spotify eats up the battery quickly. I just don't know whether that's solely with streaming (which I would assume would use a lot of battery regardless of the service) or whether there are battery issues even with music that has been downloaded.
I do NOT have an SD card in my phone. After reading about the endless SD card errors, I have decided to hold off on that for now. I have taken 1 photo with my phone in the 4 weeks since I have it....not a big photo taker at all. That said, it seems like I would want to take any music I purchased or downloaded and put it on an SD card...so I don't know if one app plays better with SD cards over another.
Basically just looking for some overall direction with this...thanks...
