According to Route Note, which appears to offer a middle-man service for artists, their ranking, as of November 2023, is:
Has anyone used Tidal or Napster? How is the music selection there vs Spotify?
I tried to switch to Tidal, but I found their app not as good, their integration with Sonos lacking, and no parental controls, which is important to me. Music selection was pretty good. A lot of niche stuff isn't there, sadly. For example I sometimes listen to college acapella groups, and there just isn't as much there. All the popular music is there though.
I'll have to check them out then. I don't care about parental controls (this would just be for me, not my kids), though I also don't listen to much mainstream music and prefer smaller artists, so I'm not sure if they'd have what I'm looking for.
