Jo Whiley gets musical
This week I was testing the latest music streaming services. Instead of paying to download and keep tunes, lots of companies are following the lead of the hugely successful Spotify service and offering systems that give you access to a massive library of tunes that you can listen to till your heart’s content.
I chose the new Sky Songs service, Napster a=Unlimited and, of course, Spotify to test out. And who better to help me than Radio 1 DJ and music maven Jo Whiley.
So which one comes out top in our test? And what do you think? Do you subscribe to any of these services. If so, which one do you think should win? Let us know below…

I listened to the review with my Harmon Kardon AVR430 amp, home built LS3/5A BBC monitor speakers and was thoroughly confused by Jo Wileys comments about the sound quality. Napster came out distorted and mushy, whereas Spotify was crisp and clear - which she called clinical. Conclusion, spotify is the best performer, delivering rapid, high quality music. I have bought spotify premium- to support the idea of music streaming.

Daz, any audio experience will be highly objective, so just go with what's right for you.

Oops - of course, I meant SUBJECTIVE. Sorry.
