Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger has become a father again at age of 73, his publicist has confirmed.

The singer already has seven children whose ages range from 17 to 45 and he became a great-grandfather in 2014.

So that great grandchild is going to be older than his great-uncle. That's amazing.

A physical copy is less useful to be honest. While I understand the appeal there is a reason you don't have a multi CD changer in a car anymore.

True, but I still like to have something physical to show for handing over my money. I suppose it's just the old fashioned way of doing things. Not that I'm ancient or anything but I was buying music/DVDs/books before the digital age so it's hard to shake the habit.

I'm pretty sure I still have cassette tapes of music at home somewhere alongside my VHS tapes. There is a reason I don't have a clue where they are or what's on them though.

That said, I copied about 100 CD's onto an external hard drive the other day before giving them all to the charity shop, so maybe I'm getting there.

How do i download as opposed to play songs?

On my phone there's 3 little dots at the top of the screen when I have a playlist or an album open and when you click it there's a download option.

Or you can set a whole playlist to sync to "Available offline" which is what I do. Fairly handy.

While I would never obviously have downloaded anything illegally, hypothetically had I done so I would have stopped doing so once Spotify and Netflix came around. Have had Spotify premium for a few years - would go mad without it at this stage really.
Netflix has the benefit of 2 people using it at once which I in no way abuse by sharing a membership which alas Spotify doesn't have. Still weird to me that spotify is more expensive (or at least was til recently) but I'm still happy to pay it at that price.

Same.

I know there are issues about Spotify and how much artists actually get paid but I would be inclined to purchase a physical copy of anything I listened to an awful lot anyway.

There is a Spotyify family option alright. it's €15 a month for up to 6 people, so works out at just €2.50 per person.

There's a thread here where people are setting up groups to avail of the discount

Technically you're supposed to be in the same household for that to work. Obviously they are doing nothing to check right now but they might at some point.

Actually on music. Did anyone see that last week vinyl outsold digital downloads! Amazing really.

Tis, but tbh, it is fairly rare I use the radio due to how much I travel.

Turns out I get spotify premium free on my vodafone plan so am going to try that out.

Remember to stick an SD card in your phone and download all your playlist before you go up north. In Spotify settings you can choose to put them on the card and choose extreme high quality.

If your new phone is a smartphone you should be able to download a free radio app through the play store/app store.

I'm pretty sure there's a spotify premium family or something like that available that allows multiple users.

Just looked at the calendar there. My next day off is the 17th of April. Will just spend it looking after the kids anyway. Not sure if I'll burn out or die of boredom first.

It won't learn anything from the music you have on your phone/in storage now, it's mainly a music streaming service to get rid of the need to have huge amounts of music in digital storage(you can still download songs through spotify to have access to them offline) so you'll have to start from scratch unfortunately. You can build new playlists and access music through their software.

Their discover and browse features will suggest songs/playlists to you that you may be interested in.

When you download stuff on Spotify it's not like downloading from ITunes, is it? I'm not getting charged for each song, it's just how you listen offline?
