With everyone rushing off to buy themselves a Bose SoundTouch speaker (or a few, dotted around the house), streaming music seems to be the topic du jour. One of the most regular things I’m asked about is how I am able to subscribe to Spotify, and how to sign up to Spotify in South Africa.

The first thing we need to discuss before the ‘how’ is the ‘why’? A lot of people don’t seem to be aware that Deezer is already in South Africa, and is arguably better than Spotify and certainly has a bigger music library.

You can sign up for that here. Then there’s also Apple Music, which you can sign up for here.

Both Deezer and Spotify work through the Bose SoundTouch app system (as does Apple Music).

So if you’re still adamant that you want Spotify, you can either wait for them to launch in SA (fairly soon according to this article and they might have launched already, according to this sign up page), or you can sign up from another country. My Spotify account is linked to my mum’s credit card and home address in France.

The PRO package lets you play your music anywhere in the world, so either get a friend/family overseas to pay the discounted annual fee (rather than monthly) and you pay them back, or you wait for Spotify to launch in SA. But as I said, this link suggests they have already launched in SA – I tried signing up and just got a neverending spinner.

Or you sign up to Deezer and Apple Music. Either way, you’ll have more quality music and cool playlists than you can handle.

For me the issue is not which music service I’m going to use, but rather which music services work with the Bose SoundTouch speakers.

Luckily for all of us, they all do.
