    Buying iTunes Music vs Spotify Premium

    So I'm stuck in a bit of a problem. I'm not sure whether I should buy iTunes music from the store or get Spotify Premium, what do you think? If I chose the iTunes route I'd buy an iPod Nano. If I chose the Spotify premium how much GB would it take up in storage if I had a lot of music? Thank you :)
