Yea, seems everywhere we camp we get no coverage. ATT is great here in the metro area, we have grandfathered unlimited data plan but sucks in the mountains.

The free prime songs can be downloaded to the app on your phone or iPad as an offline library and played from there, but they can't be downloaded to a memory stick or folder on a computer unless you pay for them.

Sweet! I will give that a shot. Does that include the free Prime albums?

I have lots of songs from Amazon. They copy easily to another folder on my desktop. Then, from there, I copy them to ITunes. That way, if ITunes ever tries to mess with me, I still have "my" music in another file. I also burn songs from my CD's to this same folder. Plenty of music to listen to on shuffle.

I do the same thing except I don't use iTunes at all. I've never cared for that application and don't use it for anything. I won't even buy music from there. I have also ripped all of my CDs to digital so I have that available as well.

Not a fan of ITunes either, but my IPod works great with my Bluetooth setup. I could put more music on my phone, but don't want all the memory used up on music.... I have 100's of songs on the IPod, so I don't listen to the same songs very often....

On Spotify, you don't own the music. My playlists are still there but with the free version, there's tons of commercials, I can't save for offline use, etc. etc., etc.,


I think I'm going to reactivate and pay for the membership again. There's no way to beat the system.
Are you the one that made that awesome 150 song Classic Rock Motorcycle playlist i bump sometimes?!

Thanks, last night I downloaded this app. It seems like it pulls the music from Youtube. Is that correct? It is interesting.

I did make a few really good playlists because some of the Motorcycle playlists that I found on Spotify were absolutely horrible. Songs that I would turn the volume down while at a red light.


Yes, I'm very cheap so I may pay for the service during Spring & Summer and then cancel again. lol

That is entirely possible. Never really paid that much attention. The quality of the music is what I pay more attention to and for the most part it's been excellent.
