Well, there are 2 issues here. Firstly - how do I know if I want to buy from this seller unless I can test the goods? A good test would be to relax in a comfortable chair, maybe a glass of malt in hand, and listen to the Elgar cello concerto - all the way through, at a quality that equals my present recording. That would be convincing. So I dig about on a site which is heavily biased toward popular, short songs (nothing wrong in that - it’s where millions of customers are, and some of them are me). That type of music is less demanding in sound quality, so not a good quality test. I found Beethovems 3rd symphony - a Deutsche Gramaphon recording, and discovered - nothing - a brief snippet only. So my main grievance is about the lack of facility to actually listen to the quality of what is being provided. I’m prepared to work at locating material I wish to listen to, but even the search facility for serious music is weak. IS there a list of composers in alphabetical order, of orc
As my primary interest is in listening to quality recordings of classical music, I’d prefer to listen to at least a full movement of a Beethoven symphony, or Elgar cello concerto. ‘Free’ in this case means ‘useless’ if I cannot hear the entire content of a pop track. So no subscription here.
