.....or to explore albums you've never heard.

I used to download illegally, then if i liked it, buy it, if i didn't delete it after a few months. I dont want to do that anymore.

What options do i have.

I got a free Deezer subscription with my Orange mobile contract. It's similar to Spotify etc. Found that very useful.

Yeah free version. I pay £9.99 a month, no ads, allows you to save tracks for offline use. You can also purchase tracks directly on Spotify too.

Great album but 1, 2 and 3 are just as good, if you like led zep check out the Human Instinct - Burning up years LP, they also did another called 'stoned guitar' but might be a bit much for some, early 70's Aussie/NZ band

Find the album on Amazon and they usually have an mp3 play list where you can listen to 20-30 seconds of each track.
