So I have Amazon Music, YouTube music, and Spotify active and all on Premium. Which one do you think is the most convenient? Hear me out, okay?

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Amazon Music comes with Amazon Prime. But the problem is, I am not able to use that app. And I don't really like the interface. Plus, international songs are not on Amazon Music. Not for me from that angle as well.

YTMusic is cool. I got it with my YouTube Family Premium. But it is not as convenient as Spotify is. I mean, with Spotify, everything just clicks for me.

But then again, Spotify is a completely different entity. And I hate ads when I am listening to, and then mood is set.

That was it for me.

I want to read your opinions regarding these service providers.

I did not ask about the music quality. I am using them for the past year, I can tell the difference. I want to talk about the convenience in your day-to-day life.

I have deliberately not included Apple Music as I don't see any point in putting my money in something that is exclusive (with quality). Android app is also there, but its Apple.

Spotify

YTMusic

Amazon Music

Ads suck so I won't really use any of them for free version, other than rarely to hear one song I want. But I got lucky and someone is sharing their Spotify Premium with me and I like it. I actually have Amazon Prime so I have the Amazon Music as well but I never use it because the music is so limited they never have the ones I want.

Spotify is my choice, very nice and easy to find new music, add music to playlists, download and listen offline, &c. I also enjoy the new "AI DJ" feature though I am suspicious it is just a playlist generated so we will see if it keeps providing new music a month from now or just playing the same thing over and over.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

You summed it up amazingly.

[Sonorous]

I've used Spotify, Tidal, Amazon HD Music, Apple Music, and YouTube Music, and Spotify is by far the most convenient for me. I like their shortcuts and how you can use your phone as a remote with an interface. Their music recommendations also appear to be the best. rn I'm only using Tidal because I forgot to cancel a free trial subscription and they don't offer refunds...

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Damn, I forgot that cool feature! I play the music on my laptop while controlling it from my phone! It is really freaking amazing!

[Sonorous]

Oh yeah! That's a big reason why I like it the most Tbh. I mainly use the feature when I'm in bed though.

[msmissydc]

I have no experience with YT music but I think spotify is one of the best music streaming services I know. At least from the consumer standpoint, when you pay for it.

[Nikki1989]

All are a waste of money. You can sample music on YouTube or Bandcamp for free and if you like something you buy the physical product.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Can you provide me a link for the process of sampling, please? I would like to see how that happens. It must be interesting.

[Anpu23]

I have both Spotify and Sound Cloud. Both with paid subscriptions. I like Spotify for convenience. I use many of its features, and as it has most of the music I listen too it just makes sense.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

SoundCloud is also amazing. I also use it. It gives cance to everybody. I like that one thing about it.

[AviatorTom]

I'm cheap. I listen to Pandora (with ads) and YouTube music videos (with ads).

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Although ads take time, a lot it now it seems😅. But ads are still one of the best ways to get some amazing products. Also to get to know new things, in general.

[OlderAndWiser]

I have Amazon Prime but I never listen to music on Amazon. I listen to more musc on YT.

[LazerBean]

Spotify premium does not have ads and is by far the best music app.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Spotify has most music, also podcasts and audio books. And its got some pretty sweet couple deals.

[HaveNoName]

Spotify is hands down the BEST music app and service ever created in this Universe.

Thank you for not putting Apply shit on the list.

[gorydetails]

I've had spotify premium for years and I'm completely satisfied with it.

[clampfan101]

I’m able to put up with commercials. What’s most important is what’s available to listen to.

[fonduegirl]

Wow, you have a lot of idle time.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I know, right? So, which one do you prefer?

[fonduegirl]

Whatever is free :p

[fonduegirl]

I love music, but I'll never pay for it.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

YTMusic and Spotify work on the freemium model, I think. But the song quality is a bit on the lower side, and there are some restrictions as well.

[fonduegirl]

It has too many ads lol

[fonduegirl]

You're really picky

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

My mom does not like Ads, that's why Family Premium. My public and personal Gmail accounts, both are linked to that family group. I works for me. Plus, since I keep changing my smartphones, I am also a Google One member. 130/100GB/month. Helps to sync the media from my iPhone.

[fonduegirl]

So you're piggybacking on the family plan? Gotcha

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Your profile picture is really beautiful. What is the anime name?

[fonduegirl]

Dunno. It's from pinterest. Hahaha.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I manage that group. But yeah, piggybacking is the right word.
I can also watch videos on Brave browser which blocks the ads by default. It is their selling point actually.

[fonduegirl]

Sweet deal!

[fonduegirl]

Also, I admire them getting premium music for everyone in the fam. Music lovers!

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Kind of. I find it useful, personally.
In fact, I have been using YouTube Premium since my second year. With student discount, through my college email id.

[fonduegirl]

That's sick. In a cool way.

[zeitgeist057]

@anon1903 agree too many ads on Spotify Free. I'd rather just listen to my own curated music collection. But it is pretty cool they have lots of great music if there's a song or artist you want to hear and suffer the ads for that one time.

[fonduegirl]

exactly! I just download stuff.

[Sonorous]

Same for me with google. I love being able to just drag things into a windows folder & have it automatically sync up with google drive. Its so damn convenient!!

[DizzyDesii]

I only use spotify and thats a few times a month

[Minahh]

I have Spotify Premium And Its awesome

[AngryCarl2]

I don't have any of that.
