When it pertains to listening to music, what's your go to streaming service for listening to music? Do you prefer to use Spotify, Tidal or Apple Music?

Personally for me, I use Spotify all the time to stream music, but I tend to use Apple Music if there's a certain song or album that's not available on Spotify. I only used Tidal a few times though.

What about you?
 
I kind of like spotify the most myself, though most of my music is offline so I don't have to worry about internet.
 
I use Spotify to stream all mainstream music. No reasons though that I use it. Just that it is the most popular streaming app in my country. I use Boom play to stream local music that are not available on Spotify.
 
Spotify charges exorbitant subscription fees and includes ads, but none of that money goes to the actual musicians. I get my music directly through Bandcamp or itch.io, so that I can pay for music once and listen to it as often as I want offline, while still having most of the money I pay go to the artists who made the music.

(Of course, not all music is on Bandcamp, so this doesn't work for everyone. But most of the music I'm interested in is, so it all works out.)

There's no ads if your using the premium subscription on Spotify. It's what I've been using for years. I can agree with you on how they keep increasing their subscription fee, it's very annoying.
 
Spotify for me. The playlists and discovery are better. You could even get some random songs that slap unexpectedly. Apple music is clean but Spotify feels more alive.

You mean you only download most of the songs that you play or what exactly? I am trying to understand what you meant because Spotify is what I used even when I want to play the songs that I got there.

Yep, I have a collection of 4k Mp3 files of all my music, I don't need any online service to play them.
 
I use Spotify, and YouTube for streaming music. I also use the Brave browser to bypass the ads on Spotify without premium.

Wait, how do you get to bypass those ads? I will appreciate if you can share. Thank you.

I've been making use of Spotify for a while now. I've gotten a far better experience as well from doing so which is lovely.

This is why one of the reasons why I also love Spotify over Apple music as well.

Spotify has helped discovery a lot of fire songs. I only use Apple Music when I'm unable to find certain songs on other platforms.
 
Since I don't use iPhone, I have never bothered trying to download the Apple music for android. It's definitely not my business and that's why I'm strictly using Spotify and YT Music.
 
I don't use any music streaming platforms. I have a digital collections of my favorite artist. By the way, I have never heard of Tidal.
