theres probably a thread on it somewhere already, but I guess services get updated/revised from time to time.

I am only just looking at streaming services, as a lot off my cd's are in storage.
I have had a 3 month trial of spotify, which I found pretty decent, the sound quality was decent enough for my use, and I could usually find something to listen to, plus the playlists that seemed to learn what I was choosing and build them accordingly was pretty good. the only negative was that volume between tracks would sometimes vary, particularly when running from my phone

I am currently into a trial with apple music, and am so far a bit underwhelmed by it (bit disappointment, as I have only ever owned apple computers, and have used itunes since it first came out) the music sometimes sounds a bit flat and lifeless, changing the eq settings doesn't help much either, especially if a playlist contains different genres.

I have heard that Tidal is a higher quality output, but havent tried it yet. Are there amy other services I should look at.

Cheers all. Signed up to spotify family tonight, and ditched the hopeless apple music.
