Which music streaming platform do you use?

[Vorastra]

I mean, Spotify is 100% free

Sure there is an ad here and there, but can literally play any music at no cost

And if you're a little savvy, no ads at all anywhere.

And if you're a little savvy, no ads at all anywhere.

Also, Spotify is the only one that has all the pods I listen to in one place. I listen 90%pods, 5%audiobooks (via Smart Audiobook Player), and 5% other assorted crap-mainly standup comedy.

 

[Red Plumstead]

Free Spotify during loadshedding.

 

[redspark]

Apple Music family subscription. We all have idevices.

 

[ebendl]

Spotify primarily. Listen to a lot of podcasts.

Youtube because I have Youtube premium and the family package is well priced, and I was previously on Google Music. But I actually think YT Musics kinda sucks.

 

[FiestaST]

YT Music taking the lead with Spotify nipping at it's heels.

No other option in contention.

@MartinGB Google Play Music is not available anymore. It has been replaced with YouTube Music.

See the also started charging, did I see correctly?

 

[SauRoNZA]

Apple Music.

I have “free” access to YouTube Music I don’t want or need and wish they would unbundle it as I never use it.

Aside from the podcasts I like that spotify has Spotify Wrapped at the end of the year where it gives you all your music listening stats, for example which genres is your favourite, what is your most listened songs, maybe you are in the top percentile listeners of your favourite artist etc. Very interesting stuff.

Sadly so. 10 years ago you could still add the source streams to WinAmp. Now it is an ad-fest of note. I mostly use it in the car as the app is less full of crap.

I started with Deezer, then moved to Spotify, then Tidal, now on Youtube Music and I think I'm gonna stay with YT Music, for a simple fact that you get mixes not found anywhere else.

[Diesal]

Have both Spotify and Apple Music (as part of Apple One)

IHMO, Spotify > Apple Music

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

TIDAL + local library using the Plex integration and PlexAmp as the main player.

Also would be nice if there was a poll option for the people who have a local music collection, like Plex, Roon, Navidrome, etc.

Apple Music does the same.

Is that the bitrate?
