Differences in YouTube, Spotify, etc.


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

I like Deezer, but wouldn't mind a trial run of Qobuz as it seems all the cool kids use it.

1.5 years ago I tried all the streaming services. Qobuz sounds best on my system. But I use Pandora on my computer while I work to get song suggestions that I add to Qobuz. I’m less than thrilled with Qobuz suggestions. 

YouTube and Spotify are not for Hi Res streaming.

I use both Qobuz and Tidal. If the same album appears in both Qobuz and Tidal, I use Qobuz.

 

I occasionally use YouTube (not music/subscription version) to find/try new music via desktop USB DAC and headphones. That’s the limit of music streaming for me. All streaming companies really should provide production details of the given tracks/albums they make available. Unknown-which-master’s-provided isn’t a thing I’ll ever pay for.
