KATHERINE
STREAMING BETA TESTER
“I have enjoyed streaming the
available music during the beta
period. I hope that when you go to
production there is at least a tier of
service that is compatible with my
listening habits. If I had to crowd out
some other aspect of my musical life
in order to justify whatever I had to
pay then I would not do that.”
“I have used the service more during
the beta than I would on average
over the long term, as I did postpone
some other things to focus here
because of the limited time.”
“I was just playing a piece by a
composer I know, but a work of his
that is less familiar to me. And my
first thought was “I like this musically
but maybe I'd prefer a different
version.”

“The music is awesome – I am pretty
sure we all agree on that – and I am
grateful to have had the opportunity
to hopefully make the final product
a success.”
“So I went to the “work info” choice
that lives at the top of the bar and
clicked. I was shown information
about the piece that included the
date and place of its premiere
AND – of interest to me – other
recordings of this piece that I will go
and explore soon.”
“I wish to report that I am a fan of
this feature – please keep it! And
thank you!”

DON MCINTOSH
STREAMING BETA TESTER
“Metadata for music is always an issue but
especially for classical music, simply because
there are no standards. What I see on
primephonic is better than what I get from
most CDs.”
“So far I played two releases and connected it to my
system via Bluetooth in my car system. Very nice. Keep
up the great work.”
