Personally, I'm pretty content with the likes of Pandora, Slacker, and Songza on my mobile devices - and I tend to listen to my own music library when I'm at my desk. Of course, if you've fallen in love with the service, you can always keep it rolling for $9.99 per month. Make sure to mark your calendar for day 59, because that's when you'll need to cancel to avoid getting billed. (You get the same bennies with the desktop version, natch.)Īs with the usual 30-day trial, you'll need to create a Spotify account and supply a credit card. That subscription includes not only unlimited mobile streaming, but also playlist syncing for offline listening, 320Kbps streaming, and freedom from commercials. There's an iTunes-like desktop client for listening on your PC or Mac, plus Android and iOS apps for listening on the go.Īh, but mobile Spotify requires a subscription to Spotify Premium. Spotify, of course, is the uber-popular on-demand music service. Here's the deal: Get a free 60-day Spotify Premium subscription free of charge. Hopefully Spotify won't decide to backpedal because too many people sign up. Needless to say, I'm a little gun-shy about today's deal, which is a Netflix-sponsored promotion which, again, probably isn't intended for the masses. The level of indignation here is disproportionate to the situation. It was a flubbed marketing effort, end of story. Frustrating, yes, but before you start thinking about lawsuits (as several people told me they were), remember that this was simply a freebie that didn't pan out. (I am still getting angry-grams from people whose accounts were abruptly terminated.) Sometimes companies offer promotions that aren't intended for the general public, then end up yanking those promotions when the public invariably gets wind of them. Before you contact me, please consult the Cheapskate FAQ, as it may well answer your question.įinally, sometimes deals blow up in my face, like the SiriusXM Internet Radio freebie from earlier this month.
Second, I get a quite a lot of reader mail, and I apologize that I can't respond to it all. I'm not saying you shouldn't patronize the company, only that you should expect slow shipping and little-to-no information about your shipment. Until I do, I won't be sharing any more of its deals.
I've asked the company to comment on these issues, but have yet to receive a response. A couple quick housekeeping notes before we dive into today's deal.įirst, I've heard one too many complaints from readers about 1SaleADay's slow shipping and poor customer service.
