BLUF: What music streaming service do you use?
There are plenty of music streaming services at our fingertips. Most people like me have couple or multiple subscriptions to suffice different needs or wants. For example, I keep my Google Play Music (GPM) subscription because I get YouTube Red commercial free and YouTube music is pretty dope too. I also have Tidal for the Sound quality and certain video/podcast shows that are on there. I also have Pandora Plus and Amazon Prime Music for free due to my Amazon Prime account and T-Mobile Tuesday for the Pandora hook-up.
Out of all these products I use GPM and YouTube the most and Tidal the second most. As of right now, GPM has me stressed because it is missing a very simple feature that it has recent gotten rid of. For some odd reason GPM has gotten rid of the ability sort “New Releases” by genre. I personally think that they have done this to accommodate labels as they probably charge the labels to promote newly released albums. Not to mention that they have struck some deal with a couple of labels over the recent years; to include the names of Sony and Universal via YouTube. Youtube Music offers music submitted by it's users similar to soundcloud. Also, GPM should be migrating over to Youtube Music.
I have decided to part ways with Tidal after this month since all of the videos/podcasts are on YouTube now, which is pretty funny being that it is a competitor. I’m interested in getting into Spotify but it will be the modded version lol. If I can find a modded version of Tidal that’ll be nice too!! I probably should divorce google, but I’m so invested into YouTube.
What streaming service do you use? What’s the pros and cons?
