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?

    Just a quick note: Tidal isn’t lossless. They said they were, but that was a lie and they removed that statement and said they never said they were when they were caught.

    There is a lot more to it so if you have time, watch this video: https://youtu.be/pRjsu9-Vznc

      That video is about the MQA stuff. They are switching to FLAC. Virtually all tracks I play are in FLAC format.

        Yeah I didn’t knew that. The last time I checked was around a year ago and at this time they still used MQA

      Wow, that’s some bs. What about Apple’s?

        Apple Music is lossless

        Also I was talking about MQA, but apparently they sold MQA and now they switched back to FLAC
