Streaming services.

I am just beginning to venture into streaming. So far I only stream radio stations or my library from my NAS.  I would appreciate opinions on various services , quality , content, ease of use, price or whatever your thoughts about streaming. Which service has the best selection of blues, jazz, classical, 60's 70's rock/ folk and celtic music?

Myself and a few other members have had issues with Deezer playback And their customer service is non existent.

But their catalogue was good on rock I agree, it could be a worthy alternative to Tidal if the fix the two aforementioned items.

I signed up for the free 30 day tidal trial. So far I like it, easy to use. Been able to find everything I searched for, from Santana to Mozart to Dave Brubeck to Tab Benoit ...

@OP,
I use Spotify to find new music and then go to Tidal to play it at higher res.
Spotify has a neat Discover tab that uses the music you like/play and finds similar artists.

I haven't tried Spotify but I haven't had any problems finding music on Tidal and I  found a section that shows similar artists as well as influences.

I just started a 30-day trial for Deezer premium and really like it. The FLAC sonic quality is phenomenal. My one beef is that my Oppo 105 won't stream it (it only does Tidal), but my family room system with humble Elac B6's has come to life.
