I've used the Presto streaming service some.... It's not up to the
standards of the better services, but where I've used it is when
awaiting a physical disc, so it's an opportunity to (imperfectly)
hear an album in the interim.
To expand those remarks a bit: I'm dealing with downloads (not
streaming) more & more these days, but I sometimes want physical
discs -- including, as noted previously, when the liner notes aren't
available otherwise. As far as the streaming, first of all, there's
no second by second readout, meaning there's no visual indication
of where you are in a track. And then the music cuts out often --
far more often than any other service I've used -- and starts up
imperfectly, sometimes being confused about what track it's on, and
basically never thinking it's actually finished playing an album.
(This is Linux desktop, fwiw.)
Bandcamp simply lets you download an album when you order the
physical disc. But Presto & others don't -- so that's where this
service comes into play for me.
