Hello, everybody, I’ve been thinking to move on from my Spotify subscription to move to Tidal or Deezer. I want to try out HIFI audio, but still get a good and stable experience. Are there any suggestions for which one I should pick? Could you also tell about your experience with those apps, or are there any other you would recommend more?

    Ditto on Apple Music. Lossless at no extra cost with a much better UX than all except maybe Spotify. Wasn’t a fan of Tidal’s UX compared to Spotify and Apple Music, and Deezer still has this weird hard limit of 2,000 tracks on playlists. For comparison, Spotify has a 10,000 track limit and Apple Music has none (not to be confused with the 100k song library limit).

    My main reason for sticking with Apple Music lately was the library management, particularly when syncing local songs. I have some music I got from Bandcamp that is not on streaming at all. On Spotify, you can’t have them alongside your liked songs, while on Apple Music, they’re treated as part of your music library and therefore much more streamlined than Spotify’s.

      Spotify is unfortunately on track to completely destroy its UX. They are also horrendously slow at implementing highly requested features. Competition seems to be finally creeping up though.

        I’ve heard as much, especially on r/TrueSpotify when I still used Reddit. Lots of “where hifi/2fa”.

        Apple’s UX isn’t perfect either but the library management is a huge part of why their UX is personally better for me.
