Which do you use?
I'm finally ready to make my own playlists and listen to music when I go for walks.

Used to use Spotify, but back on .mp3s
Been working on getting off of these fucked up subscriptions.

so many people are fucking off spotify.. and for good reason.
as much as i love the idea of going back to physical media.. the thing most advocates dont get is the manufacturing pipeline for that has largely been dismantled.. and there would be zero appetite for anyone to rebuild as it was mostly huge companies like SONY BMG etc who did..
with the new ID validated internet being installed .. mp3's and pirated music will become a thing of the past... or at least significantly more dicey.

I have a spotify family account for listening to audio books and podcasts on the train and my family use for music. I also have a Tidal account for listening on my hifi (yeah you can hear the difference) and also me and my daughter DJ off Tidal's DJ addon.

Yeah my teenager is hardcore Spotify but I can’t kick my 90s dj cd/vinyl buying habits and still buy choice songs on iTunes, Bandcamp, Beatport, etc - apparently this is now crazy
But also turning a corner as people are getting fed up with streaming fees upon fees and buying music like good ole days... same goes for dvds apparently as a growing trend to digitize those collections sitting in closet, set up a home movie server on Plex/Jellyfin to detach from streaming services

- I tried getting into vinyl. I got a little collection.
I buy vinyl album > listen to it once > put it on the shelf > listen to the album on streaming > mehjagara - I respect the collectors, though. Plus I get crate digging for weird unknown treasures. I'm just too lazy for that. Also, I have no room or money for vinyl.jagara
- I buy digital music on Bandcamp occasionally. Mostly club stuff.jagara
- Yeah Bandcamp is great for indie hiphop, ukgarage, ambient, jungle, weird cool stuff not seen on other platformsprophetone
- Beatport is great for previewing new releases and staff picks and then I immediately switch to iTunes to buy bc easierprophetone
- But also sometimes Beatport has exclusive stuff or old singles not on iTunes so will buy on BPprophetone
- Streaming just doesn’t have the goat stuff prior to 2000s imo so just not cutting it for me, but teens are def all over it ofcprophetone
- Funny how all old labels don't make their stuff available. There's money to be made. Purists praise this, of course.jagara

Tidal. It came with my phone subscription, and now I've had it for 5 years or so. It's good. I mean, it has what the other platforms have, plus better sound quality.
I kinda miss Spotify because of their larger library of more obscure stuff, and all the user generated playlists. Especially the latter.

Spotify + Soundcloud + YouTube

I’ve been using YouTube Music since it was Google Play. You can upload your own stuff which works great as a backup for my 25 years of mp3s. It’s extremely rare that YouTube Music doesn’t have something. The main issue is scrolling. It’s nearly unusable in that regard and they haven’t even tried to fix it more than 10 years.

Apple Music for a decade now. Family plan, four of us at $20 per month includes Apple TV+

Switched away from Spotify to Deezer (could get it with a phone subscription). Seems to be about the same amount of music and the quality seems good.
Doesn't has as many podcasts, so I just use a different app for that.

ive never used a subscription service - i strip soundcloud to mp3's for my live dj / band intake and on the nodata / high-seas for the rest...
- i have more than 12TB of music on various drives and its still all mentally organised. ie: not organised at all._me_
- Same here! Spoke to a younger lad recently who was fascinated by the thought of owning mp3s and such. Also, nodata still exists?! Holy fuck I forgot about that!letterhead
- em-pee- ... threes ... ?Continuity
- Same here...I guess Spotify is convenient but I tend to go for the obscure stuff that isn't on there as muchyuekit
- my mp3/aac music library is currently sitting at 411.11GB - not in the TB club yet!prophetone

- Are you saying that you don't pay for any of your music that you DJ? But you get paid to DJ? And you're bragging about this?canoe

Spotify for casual listening and discovering. Bandcamp, juno download for buying wav files to DJ with.

Apple Music I like the human curated playlist and sound quality.
- The Dolby Atmos / Spatial Audio tracks are so goodrobthelad
- You have atmos setup?monospaced
- Yeah works really nice with headphones. I 'can't tell' though through a bluetooth speaker or my mac.robthelad

Apple Music has been the best for me so far, out of Spotify and Youtube Music

So like, is this for real Spotify now requiring a real id card like your personal drivers license or passport (!!) to simply listen to music... like a privacy-killing paywall that puts your id/passport out in the world after the next data breach b/c you wanna enjoy some Drake?
