Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer.
I'm using Tidal, but i can't say i really like it. They seem to randomly decide what songs and artists are not available, and their search function is really bad.
I used Tidal for a few months, then found out it had silently removed ~10% of my music from my “liked” list. Completely unacceptable. They should at least keep a list of titles so I can go back and fix it. People say all services do this, but I’ve been keeping an eye on it and Spotify hasn’t done it since I hopped back.
Qobuz was painful to use and new music discovery was hopeless. No idea if they were removing tracks too.
Bandcamp seems cool, but I prefer to listen to music via song-based-radios, so that’s a no go.
Not sure what I’ll do if I have to drop Spotify again over ads.
That's not up to the streaming service but the record company.
Personally I switched from Tidal to Qobuz this year and I like it much better.
Just recently signed up for Qobuz. I'm planning on purchasing albums as I go along so at least I'm left with something the day I decide to quit.
Fun fact, there are tools to rip FLAC files of music you stream on qobuz so you can build up your music hoard
I would prefer they just make their apps good.
But it’s kind of bizarre that daily/weekly playlists are only in app.
And the radio function! They really should update their UI.
I respect that, I personally prefer to prepare for the inevitable rugpull that ever software as a service company does
Worst mobile app on the planet with SO many bugs, but dammit if they aren't a clean platform otherwise.
