Spotify for classical music lovers

+1. Rvpiano.
Though some dismiss Spotify for not having High Rez output, I find the search and 'Discover' titles to be a great source of new music/composers.
Hopefully, with their IPO, they will consider offering a high resolution output to compete with Tidal and Quobuz-which is supposed to come to the US this year. I just got an email stating it won't be until Fall.

I also appreciate the “Discover weekly” feature in Spotify, especially with Classical it seems very adept at honing in on things you might like.  I basically use Spotify to save a list of titles to then purchase on CD or in hi res at some future date. 

For popular music creating a ”radio station” from a track you like also works well, not tried it with classical

I stream Spotify through my Gungy DAC, which, I believe doesn’t support hi-res files anyway..

I enjoy yourclassical for streaming. Curated shows with background and interesting special features. And free. 

I'm a Tidal subscriber, not Spotify (yet) and while Tidal has a nice selection of classical music, their search function is nearly worthless for it.  Classical has very different metadata requirements than pop, rock, etc, that search functions designed for 'album name' 'artist name' 'song name' don't really work well.  

There's also the issue of multiple recordings of the same pieces, which is a good thing, but as most Tidal albums lack professional reviews attached it's hard to tell the good recordings from the bad (and the date of recording is often woefully incorrect, sometimes listing when the recording became available on CD, not when it was recorded, or when it was last remastered).
