Saint Hollywood 37,364 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Hello, all you bottoms Before anything, I would just like to say happy holidays to everyone here on GGD! Now, let's get to what I need help with I need help choosing a streaming service to use and have a subscription for, and being the indecisive person that I am, I want some feedback as what to get. My options are Apple Music, TIDAL, Google Play Music or Spotify. I have had Spotify Premium before, and the service was great, but I felt like the app needed something more in order for it to satisfy me completely. I switched over to TIDAL (because of Lemonade ) and have been using it since around spring 2016. However, my subscription was accidentally canceled last week since my previous card got stolen. (Don't worry, the card was canceled and replaced, so that whole mess is taken care of.) I go to my local Best Buy to purchase a TIDAL gift card, thinking it would pay for a subscription while I wait for my new card, but that wasn't the case. Instead, it was credit to purchase something on the TIDAL store (which is similar to iTunes), but for some reason, it won't let me buy anything. So now there's $20 dollars on my TIDAL account that I can't use. I'm debating whether I should stay with TIDAL or change to another service for 2018. For me, it's between these 4 services, and I've listed the pros and cons of them in order to give y'all some knowledge of it all. (Note: I have an Android phone.) Apple Music Pros: Wide music library, simplistic user interface, some exclusive content, available on Android Cons: Audio quality isn't that stellar compared to other services TIDAL Pros: Exclusive content and offers, immaculate audio quality Cons: Unpleasant customer service, no "songs" section in personal music library Google Play Music Pros: Wide music library, subscription comes with YouTube Red Cons: Somewhat-unappealing user interface, average audio quality Spotify Pros: Large music library, simple user interface, great curated playlists, nice social networking Cons: Audio quality isn't that stellar compared to other services, little to no exclusive content --------------------------------------- So... what should I get?

Epione 10,896 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Spotify. It just has the best algorithms for suggesting music. And it is supported on all major platforms. I can listen on my TV, PS4, etc. Plus, we need to improve Gaga's streaming power on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cracks 1,238 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Spotify Premium and Apple Music are much better than the other two. Go with Apple Music if you own an iPhone and/or a Mac. Otherwise, go with spotify. They are basically the same Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvnrp 48,353 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Spotify is the best overall and is on pretty much every platform out there, Tidal has the highest quality, Apple has the fame, Google allows you to store your own music on their servers and stream it anywhere.

Phoebe Buffay 12,525 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I use Spotify. Google Play Music isn't that good actually. I don't know for the other two. P.S. I have an Android phone too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
