Services

Amazon Music FREE
  • Players:
      • Use “Search” to play music for free.
        • “Music By Genre” - Click on “more” to display all genres.
      • 2023-09-29 “Firefox aktualisieren. Wir haben den Service aktualisiert und diese Browserversion wird nicht mehr unterstützt. Bitte aktualisiere deinen Browser, oder lade Amazon Music für PC herunter”, though Firefox for Win10Pro, 64bit was up to date at this moment :-(.
      • Use “Search” to play music for free.
        • “Music By Genre” - Click on “more” to display all genres.
    • Google Play "Amazon Music: Songs & Podcasts" - ” Listen free to music and podcasts with ads—no credit card required”.
      • Use “Search” to play music for free.
        • “Music By Genre” - Click on “more” to display all genres.
      • On “Bluestacks” smartphone emulator on Windows computers, the app may be installed successfully :-).
        • Some radio streams work :-), but with many other there is an error message “Leider gibt es bei der Wiedergabe ein Problem. Bitte versuche es später noch einmal oder wähle einen anderen Radiosender” :-(
  • There is no “Favourites” list :-(.
    • Following:
    • For some artists, if you listen to their songs regularly, there might be a icon button on the main page “REDISCOVER ( artist name )”, with a list of songs of that artist.
    • My experiences of 2023-09:
      • Fowllowing does not help to create a “Favourites” list :-(.
      • Obvious workaround:
        • Create a playlist on a Amazon Music app ( you can't do that with the browser ).
        • Add one piece of music of your favourite artist.
        • By the profile, you may access the playlist(s). You can just add “suggestions” or “recently played songs”
        • Finally, Amazon tells you that adding songs to a playlist is a payware feature :-(, so you can't keep track of favourite artists with “Amazon Music Free” :-(.
  • Music:
    • There are “radiostations” which plays songs of the artist and of similar music of other artists, in shuffle mode :-). By this, the playlist of the artist ist extended, resulting in more variety. Thats positive especially if there are just a few LP / CD albums of the artist available in the library..
      • Artists may be searched by the search engine. Artists to which you listen regularly, are listed on the main cockpit page.
      • Single songs and albums of an artist might be linked to the “radiostation” of:
        • The artist.
        • A co-artist.
        • The song.
        • The album.
        • “REDISCOVER” co-artist.
    • Unique selling proposition: Amazon Music Genre "Afro".
  • History:
    • T-Online "Amazon startet Gratis-Musikstreaming", 2019-11-19 - “Amazon hat heute eine Gratisversion des Musikstreamingdienstes Amazon Music gestartet. Nutzer können dafür die Gratis-App Amazon Music jetzt auch auf Android- und iOS-Geräten nutzen, teilte das Unternehmen am Montag in einem Blogeintrag mit. Auch über den Browser und den Fire-TV-Stick lässt sich der Dienst verwenden. Bislang stand die Gratisvariante von Amazon Music nur für Kunden mit einem Amazon-Echo-Gerät zur Verfügung”.

    • Network-Karriere "Warnung vor "Geschenken" Mit Zwangsabo in die Kostenfalle", 2012-03-16 - “Wer etwa bei Unitymedia das Paket “DigitalTV Basic” bestellt, lernt den Kölner Kabelnetzbetreiber von seiner scheinbar großzügigen Seite kennen. Denn zusätzlich spendiert Unitymedia “ein Test-Abo: ein Paket mit '17 Premium-Programmen'. Das gibt’s laut Kleingedrucktem drei Monate kostenlos hinzu - ob man will oder nicht. Ärgerlich nur: Wer sein Geschenk während der ersten 60 Tage nicht kündigt, zahlt künftig weitere 7 Euro im Monat. Bis zum Ende der einjährigen Vertragslaufzeit macht das insgesamt 63 Euro. Eine Kündigung des Präsents ist bis dahin nicht mehr vorgesehen”.
  • Since 2023-11-09, please select “Kabel Deutschland” and not “Unitymedia” anymore, with digital cable TV channel scan for Bielefeld, NRW, Germany :-).

DVB-T2 / DVB-T

Source Code in TV and Films

2024, Germany: Cable TV versus Streaming TV

Pro free Streaming TV

With Stock PC

  • PRO: No cable TV subscription fees ( in 2022: 192.48 EUR/a = 16.04 EUR/m ) anymore :-).
  • NEGATIVE: No legal free TV of RTL group :-(.
  • NEGATIVE: A PC must be operated all the time.
  • NEGATIVE: No EPG, no easy channel-hopping in TV ad breaks.

  • VERY NEGATIVE: You can't sort the TV channels in the order you want. Even within the web interface of the most popular single streaming media services for Germany ( Joyn, Pluto,... ), sorting is not supported. If you must switch between different streaming TV services to jump to another channel, it's even worse :-(.
  • VERY NEGATIVE: You don't have a remote control for your TV channels anymore. You must use the web interface in the browser on your PC.
  • PRO: If you buy a DVBT2 settop box, additionally, you have at least a settopbox with remote control, for all free state TV ( ARD, ZDF in Germany ).

With App "HTML4 TV"

  • See HTML4 TV.
  • *A PC ( or later a RaspberryPie? ) must be operated all the time.

Streaming TV subscription with Settop Box
