Differences in YouTube, Spotify, etc.


What music streaming service do most members use, and why?

Started out with Spotify... Lower res was OK in car or on a Bluetooth speaker, but the low music quality grated on my ears when listening on my stereo.

Tidal was OK, in spite of lossy MQA garbage. For me, Tidal connect was erratic and forced me to delete and reload the app frequently.

Amazon was OK... Somewhat klugey UI, missing many of my favorites. A number of my favorite albums that they did have, produced only static on my streamer.

Qobuz... Ahhh a breath of fresh air. High quality music, large library of high res albums, solid app. The best for me.

Qobuz, for sound quality. The interface is good and improving, the content likewise, and the recommendations are OK.

Dislike Tidal, both the SQ and MQA and the interface and recommendations.

I liked Deezer but Qobuz trumps it on sound quality (Deezer is 'only' CD quality), but the recommendations were the best.

Definitely give QB a try. 

I'm using Amazon because wifey buys so much crap- sounds good to me but its app (especially for IOS) is maddening.  

 

Have tried Qobuz and Tidal but keep coming back to Spotify. SQ difference is almost undetectable to me and the interface, diversity of playlists is far superior.
