I am once again recommending:

  • Tidal: mainstream streaming platform you may already be familiar with, if you're shy about engaging with lesser-known ones
  • Quobuz: mainstream streaming and digital downloads
  • Bandcamp: some mainstream but mostly indie streaming and digital downloads
  • local concerts

    local concerts

    Damn, I want to listen to some bands I like while I commute. Better go check out if any of them are giving a local concert right now on the back of my bicycle.

    I tried it out as an alternative to Google music at one point because it was included in my I think Verizon subscription and it was horrible had a terrible selection of music was constantly having issues crashing and logging in and logging out of it constantly.

    I agree google music was goated, so I assume the last time you used Tidal was 5-10 years ago since google music has been defunct and rebranded as YouTube music for nearly a decade.

    In its current state Tidal has a huge selection and I've seen no differences in reliability or available music compared to Spotify since my switch years ago. Its got great choices for audio quality streaming as well and a better payment plan for artists (still not amazing but better than Spotify).

    I can't speak for its quality early on but now its a reliable and decent streaming platform.
