Which one do you prefer?

I am seeing plenty of mixed opinions about both Spotify and Tidal. Some are saying Spotify is the best, others say it’s bloated, others think it’s annoying it’s also an app for podcasts. Some people really like Tidal, but I have mostly seen negative opinions about it - worse song recommendations, no difference in audio, too expensive.

As someone who doesn’t care very much for song recommendations I can’t decide which one is ideal for me personally. Tidal seems to pay artists better, but the criticism it receives makes me unsure. What do y’all think?

    I get what you’re saying and if quality matters to you, go for it. I listen on Bluetooth headphones while commuting, and I really can’t tell the difference… For me, the added benefit of YouTube Premium is better than the potential sound quality increase. It’s great that we have choices :)

    Edit: YT Music has 256kbps AAC & OPUS
