And why?

Just free-trialling Apple music but it seems to be missing a lot of stuff.

Spotify - all of them see to be missing the same albums and songs that I would be interested in and Spotify seems to have the best 'play some songs in this genre' and 'play songs like this artist' playlists.

YouTube music for me. I use YouTube premium for the ad free videos and considering music is included in the subscription it is pointless paying for anything else on top.

I prefer spotify's generated playlists but YouTube is a very passable alternative and I haven't come across anything not on there yet

Spotify for me. Although I also have Amazon music and YT music their content is not close.

I briefly had Tidal but, although the quality was amazing, the choice was even more imited.

No idea what iTunes is like these days but it was awful back in pre-Spotify days.

Spotify, only because you there are lots of smaller, lesser known artists which aren’t on other streaming platforms.

Also, the user interface is much better with Spotify, even if they seem to be intent on ruining it with stories/podcasts/audio books and other crap I don’t particularly care about.



However, I really want better quality and Atmos support.


Also - thanks OP for knowing the difference between “what” and “which”! beer

None, I have a huge collection of music and sometimes buy ( (usually used) CDs.

I sometimes watch videos of artists new to me on YouTube to see if I like the sound of them.

Spotify's policy towards smaller artists 100% puts me off using them.
