    Quick question, just got the S7 and it doesn't have the usual music player as it's been replaced by Google Play Music. It says something about ads. All I wanna know is if I play my own music through the app will I still get ads or is it only when you use the radio s--- or whatever?

    Looks like you can edit the song details on that which is good cos a lot of my songs are ripped off YT and are under unknown artist

    Hypothetically if I got the streaming service is it worth it? I'm assuming Spotify is better but I use up enough data as it is without using a streaming service.

    Weird that the S7 doesn't have the stock music player.
    Streaming service isn't that great. You're better off with Spotify or Apple Music

    Poweramp still by far the bestusic player on the store. Well worth the purchase price for full features. Can't remember what the price is now though.

    Google Play Music is the best streaming app for bitrate quality. But if you rip music from YouTube then you obviously have no respect for your ears so f--- it.

    Personally I don't use a streaming service, I still do the oldskool way of downloading music and playing it offline.

    you converting songs from a desktop application to your s7 or do you just download straight from your s7? unknown artist should be an easy fix if you are to fix it

    Meant to reply to this before been sidetracked at work, I just download s--- on the go all the time like links from here or from YT if I'm desperate. All the YT rips are the unknown artist ones.

    If you download a load of stuff then a streaming app will prob help you use less data. The files are deeply compressed. If you download a lot then you could potentially save money on your phone bill. Better quality then god awful YouTube rips as well.
