Best/least shitty streaming services

Post by Boiled Egg »

What streaming services are people using for music/podcasts?

I don't use them but my girlfriend has just got rid of Spotify and trying to replace it with something that isn't completely scummy. Are there any good options out there?

interested in what everyone is using to listen to music in 2023?

I have Apple Music because it has allowed me to upload music into it, which I can't find on streaming services but it's not great at it, and has replaced certain mixes of tracks with another that matches the metadata for some reason. Not afraid of switching away to something else.
We have Spotify as well for the family, but I really don't like Spotify, and its only advantage is that it works with everything.

I would love to move to something that just has my own music library, and actually buy tracks off bandcamp etc... And then use a streaming service for occasional discovery. But I have no idea what, though Roon looks interesting.

Apple Music as well, same for podcasts, I've tried all the other apps and just use the base Apple ones because I'm a subscriber of one +
