I'm not sure that makes sense in this context. I have used Music unlimited, Deezer, WiMP(Nordic market) and Spotify. They all get access to many of the same labels.So long as the label is being paid, then it (hopefully) shouldn't mean them limiting releases to just one service.As for Apple with iTunes, no chance!(as you suggest).
Indeed, but i'm sure there must be a scenario where some artists appear on one streaming service and not another. If not then fair enough I'm talking lobbox.
No, That is definitely the case sometimes for whatever reason. It's possible that Sony end up limiting its own artists to Music unlimited. But they all have large libraries and competition can only drive all the products forward IMO.
For now Spotify is the best. Gapless playback and apps have made it very good. (Try mood agent for example for playlist creation).
For me the Sony offering is clunky and slow. It takes ages to boot up on the PS3 and seems slow on the mobile app too.
WiMP is very good, but no gapless as yet, and only available over here
The Sony service does have one advantage...they allow mirroring of your own tracks somewhat like the recent Apple cloud/itunes thing, and you can take advantage of that on the cheaper subscription of £3.99 a month too. But they need to up the bitrate and speed the app up IMO.
