Download mixtapes/EPs and unzip through on harddrive and upload the good ones to Google Music. 
Stream all new LPs from Google Music.
If I download an album leak I usually listen to it up until the official release then toss in the bushes once its available on Google music.

I use Deezer mostly these days but I have some stuff on my Ipod classic and hard drive still....Only because I have songs/mixtapes that you can't get on these streaming sites.

I'm trying to figure this out now. I was using Beats which I liked then I did the 3 month trial with Apple music which I hated so now I'm trying spotify.
I still buy physical CD's if it's an album I really like but for the most part it's a waste because i take the train to work so I'm never in the car. I download using idownloader occasionally if an album I want leaks early but for the most part streaming is the most convienent option for me right now. I was really surprised how shytty Apple music is, i figured it wouldn't be much different than Beats but it was.

I trained Sheng Long and Shonuff
I've been enjoying it since I had it. Even threw spotify in the bushes for it
The only issues I have is 1) it doesn't support Chromecast yet
and 2) it doesn't have a Roku app Other than that, no complaints
Been using spotify for the last 1.5 years. Recently went back to dl and manually adding tracks to itunes this weekend. About to cancel my paid spotify soon. The convenience of spotify/apple music when an album first drops or when you immediately want to hear something new or old because a conversation reminds you to check something out is great.
Using Spotify make me listen to albums front to back way less and i miss that..I had fire playlists i created to get thru the day in my long ass commute id just depend on and play shuffle. There's about 2/3 more inconvenient steps i have to do if i decide to listen to something front to back. Spotify isn't as defaultly organized as itunes or the music app on iphone is.
Streaming is okay. Apple Music and Spotify are very good. but the fact that i cant keep what i download offline is what kills it for me, yes i know for $10 i can keep it. But when i decide i dont want to pay $10 anymore then i lose what i had.Ii put myself in the process of figuring what i need to download. Downloading means i'll always have what i want. Plus ive always had sporadic offline syncing issues w spotify or the "local files" never show on the desktop app so i cant add new music without downloading an older version that may or may not have the same issue. With those particular issues, paying $10 has always been a joke to me, as most of what i do has nothing to do with streaming.

Currently using Deezer as I had 12 months free subscription, it is coming to an end and it has been good but I am wondering if Apple or Tidal may be the better option?
Any suggestions brehs? Anybody had experience of all 3?

They got like 2 week free promotions
I still buy vinyl, but older stuff when I see an antique store, or if it's an album I really want to spin at the house, I'll buy it online.
Last.fm is still the only streaming service that was able to match my random music taste. But for now, 500GB and still downloading. I switch my music on my phone like every week and just listen to that at work all day.

Yes you can. I download mixtapes, add it to my iTunes & its in my Apple Music library to stream or i can save it to my phone internal memory. I used to use Google Play music but they fukked up the interface with an update & Apple music integrates w/ my Macbook, iPhone (Siri) & Apple Watch way better.
I still buy physical CDs. Artists like Hov, Ross, Future, Curren$y etc, I ALWAYS cop their CD from the store the old fashion way.

Break down how this is achieved. You using a 6S+? Cos for me, once Apple Music is enabled, I cannot add MP3s onto my phone from my Macbook nor my HDD.

MIami Beach on the check-in.
Record collection + 1.5TB of mp3s on an external in my basement if I need them + streaming everything else free.
