Spotify: Good collection of music, slow loading time, no cache, can only load one song at a time.

Pulselocker: Less selection of music, loads quickly, songs can be cached with more expensive subscription

Well I dont use either, but what I do know is this...

Spotify takes ages to load, pulselocker doesnt
Spotify is for home use only, pulselocked is for dj use and public performance
spotify needs an internet connection, pulselocker can be cached for offline
Spotify has pretty much every song you could think of, pulselocker not so good
Pulselocker has lots of cover versions and poorly tagged tracks

P.S. You can get trials of both so why not see what's best for you?

Spotify say that yo can download and listen offline?



Download music & listen offline.

No internet connection needed.
the best is to try both

First decide how you are going to use these services. Are you going to be using them a good bit or for that off the wall rare request. If its the first... Pulselocker... if its the 2nd, Spotify just because they have SO MANY SONGS that you almost always find the odd requests for private gigs.

Hm let me think...how about Deezer?

Deezer is not for dj's same as spotify
pulslocker has bigger catalogue of 44 million and spotoify only 30 million
Deezer and spotify are only for prtivate use at home so pulslocker is for professional use ......
Thanks guys for help!

so pulslocker is the way to go

Perhaps..except library management in Pulselocker is appalling which makes it difficult to find a playable song version, and on top of that it's expensive.
Sort the library out and drop the price a little.. then you will have a clear winner.
As it stands now it's almost unusable, but it is the future!.
