There is a house Napster/ Rhaposdy account which all used (from 6 up!) Our 15 yearold has a separate free spotify account which she uses mainly to build playlists, I believe - no idea why - probably to do with the brand :). We also have a Deezer account (free with my mobile phone contract - useful as it (i) has a slightly different library and (ii) means that I can take music that I don't own offline - e.g. into the car > If you have separate accounts, do you feel it would be important to be > able to listen to the music from one of the account on all player > devices in the house ? Syncing is important to us (well, me!) - so yes. However the teen's music may follow her around like a bad smell. > If you have separate accounts, do you have accounts from different > streaming providers or does all family member use the same streaming > provider ? As above - Napster/ Rhapsody premium - Spotify free and Deezer as a part of a phone package > If you have a single account for the whole family, are you severely > missing the ability to keep track of individual playlists or favorites > for each family member ?
