To be honest, I have tried to use Spotify and Tidal before. I prefer Spotify rather than Tidal. 

-Spotify launched over a decade ago and is now one of the biggest subscribed-to services in the world. -Tidal has also made a huge name for itself by focusing on superior sound quality including CD-quality lossless streaming and hi-res FLAC-based audio files. 

-If you're on a tight budget, go for Spotify. It offers a free subscription plan supported by some (fairly annoying) adverts. Step up to Spotify's £10 a month Premium subscription plan and the audio quality shoots up to 320kbps. 

-Tidal doesn't off a free, ad-supported subscription plan – only a free 30-day trial. The cheapest plan - Tidal Premium will set you back £10 a month. It's ad-free and streams music at 320kbps.

Apart from music streaming service, there is a Spotify Music Converter from DumpMedia to convert your favorite songs and keep them forever. It is a tool that removes DRM protection. This converter offers you a free-trial period so that you can try to use it before pushing to the purchase.
