How do you get your music?

My friend uses Spotify unlimited... Me? I like to own my music and be able to play it even if I'm offline. :P So it's usually iTunes for me... Youtube has good "lyric videos" for most music tracks, which is quite killing 2 birds with 1 stone since I like to know the lyrics and sing along. Many of these videos are legit straight from the artists themselves!
The catch is that the audio is encrypted so you lose the music once you cancel your subscription. Same drill with Google Play All Access. But I'm listening to at least a couple of new albums per month, so $8 is a lot cheaper in the short-term.
Also, I think Spotify launched an ad-supported mobile thing. I don't know if that lets you save the music though.

Apparently now you can listen to playlists in shuffle mode on mobile. But the reason I like spotify is that I can just put a song on repeat with no ads and listen over. and over, etc.
Plus, spotify is cross-platform, and has a similar nice interface between PC, Mac, web browser, android, windows phone, iPhone, etc. whereas afaik Google Play Unlimited Thingy Whatever Its Name Is is Android/web only. I could be wrong.

first i journey way out to music mountain located deep within the himalayas where perched on top of the mountain, and only reached by an arduous upwards climb, is a buddhist monastery populated by monks who specialize in music distribution. First i must train among the monks and be accepted, a process that can take upwards of ten years. Upon joining the order I will approach the leader of these monks, and now my own leader, and make my single request, the only request I can ever ask of this leader. I ask for the gift of music. The monk leader will grant my request if I have trained hard enough and shown great prowess among the monks. He hands me a single record. He says "This LP is great, Shannon and The Clams is mad groovy". I then must leave the mountain, and leave all my new friends, and begin the journey to record player island. One day I will make it. One day I will listen to this album.
It isn't.
Because I just looked it up, and Google Play All Access is already on iOS.
iTunes isn't leaving iOS, because Apple wouldn't do that. iPhones make Apple's money, and moving their apps elsewhere isn't going to further that cause. Google wants to reach as many people as possible, because that's their business model.
