Which Streaming Service Has the Best Music?
That's not an easy answer. Thanks to—you guessed it—money, some platforms have either gained or lost content. Taylor Swift, Prince, and other artists have seen their catalogs vanish from streaming platforms (and later reappear) due to low royalties. The issue of artist compensation has always dogged the recording industry, and it hasn't disappeared with the advent of streaming music—quite the contrary, in fact.
In some cases, you may be unable to play certain songs on demand; these tracks are only available within the scope of a themed channel. Content restrictions and missing artists and tracks are still a problem in the space, though—Swift notwithstanding—the situation has improved markedly in recent years.
Trying to figure out where things live and how you're able to access them can prove quite vexing to the uninitiated. It's one of the entertainment challenges that we face in the digital age.
Which music streaming service has the biggest catalog?
How do I listen to free music?
My wife & daughter use iphones and spotify (which they have been complaining has been crap for the past couple months), my son uses samsung and youtube music and I use Pixel and Amazon prime music. Trying to consolidate into one music streaming service. Wondering which of these services would sound great across any device.
Edit: Wow so many people for Tidal. I will sign up for the trial and see how good it is. Thanks for all the help.
Edit 2: Decided to do a Qobuz trial also since so many are recommending it also. Now I just have to remember to cancel one lol.
Final Edit: We ended up choosing YouTube music. Everyone in my family picked it. They all listen to it on their phones or cars. I play it exclusively in my truck via Android Auto. Its been 6 months no complaints.
