Spotify vs. Apple Music vs. Google Play vs. Tidal: Which is Best

depends on how you listen and what your setup is--if you have top flight equipment in a living room system, get tidal. if (like me) you wanna listen toyour mobile thru headphones on the go, spotify is the bomb.
I like the Tidal site a lot, but Spotify has always had a larger library. Therefore I have both. It will be difficult to pick a streaming service as we are entering a brave new world with digital hi-res music. Roon looks very cool, and I may change to Roon soon. Many choices.... but I do like MQA whichever service is offering it.
Agree with loomis. If you listen on hi-end audio, Tidal is IT! While I'm waiting to buy a new main system, I stream Tidal from my desktop (Tidal desktop app) in my office to KEF X300As. FANTASTIC sound.
One more Tidal thought. They desperately need to up grade their interface (at least the desktop app, which is all I've used). You need to be able to search YOUR created playlists (not just theirs), and another big problem I have is that when you use the "back" arrow to go back to your playlist, it takes you to the top (or somewhere in between), but not to where you left the playlist. VERY ANNOYING and time consuming. Bad Tidal! :-(
For the best SQ tidal is it. As for the interface,I use roon, also a no brainer
