I use Napster as my primary music service because you can create playlists. They were Rhapsody for many years and they had an excellent player software, which allowed you to add music from your personal library. That was great because I have a lot of CDs. Then they changed their software so you can no longer add your own music to a playlist. I don't like what they have now all that well but it is still so much better than Amazon. This is the service I use when I write.
I have Amazon Music through Prime. In the beginning, the app or program was good as far as being easy to use and read. Then they changed it and the appearance is terrible. I don't know why companies don't allow customers to keep what they have if they are happy with it. The current background is navy blue with dark gray print and you have to run your mouse over the print to turn it white where you can read it. Also when they changed the app, all my playlists were still listed but they were empty. I can't recommend Amazon Music. I exported the music I had bought on Amazon to iTunes which is far superior to Amazon in appearance. A lot of people complained about Amazon Music so I am hoping they will change the colors or give the customers options. Otherwise, I don't use it.
I've been a Pandora subscriber for years and this is where I have found a lot of new artists and music I love. They have radio playlists where you don't control the songs that are in the playlist but they are of a similar nature. Like I have a Piano Guys playlist. I have Pandora on my phone so I use the blue tooth sync to listen to it on speakers. They do have an upgrade now where you can add playlists, but since I have Napster, I don't need that.
If you are looking for a music service to use while writing, I would recommend Napster.
TGIF!!! Have a great weekend!

I need to learn to use services on my MP# player. my son says to use my iPhone but I have no Idea how LOL. I generally turn on Pandora on my computer If I listen to anything.
One of my daughters installed Pandora on my phone last summer, and I love it when I don't have access to my CDs:)
Cathy, you just go to the app store on your phone and download the app for Pandora or any other music service.
Kenzie: I have been listening to Pandora this morning.
Great tips, Patricia! Thanks so much.
I've never used Amazon music. I tried the Google music once, but didn't like the interface. I've never tried Napster. My go-to are Spotify or YouTube. Spotify is like Pandora in you can't control the actual songs you hear, just similar music based on the 'station' you chose. It works if I don't have anything set in mind. If I want something specific then I turn to YouTube.
I use iTunes for playists or go old school with CDs. Like you, I prefer instrumental music.
