Yt music is amazing if you can't afford sound cloud premium or whatever it's called. You got basically every song, unreleased songs, mashups, and creators that arent on most streaming services
they don't have any jimi hendrix though, which kind of sucks
@@dextergrahame9008 they do though
they dont have a lot of the stuff thats on bandcamp and soundcloud
SoundCloud free is way better, just don’t let the next song auto play and there’s no ads.
Yeah but if you use it on mobile, you have to pay to play the music while the app's closed.
Spotify doesn't really want to be a music streaming app anymore; they want podcasts where they can increase your time attached and stuff more ads in your ear. That's why they treat musicians below a certain level worse and worse all the time.
I believe ya, however the ads for podcasts are starting to get out of hand too that I just started supporting the podcasts i do like on patreon for ad free episodes and just extra content. Tho I’m certain even that will be pricey after a certain point on wanting just ad free versions of multiple podcasts. :/
Dissapointing. but its truth. More I hear about spotify the less I want to use it. They just aren't putting in the passion. honestly I don't much care for podcasts. I come to listen to musicccc, not boring tapes of podcasts.
Someone even said how they were 'putting out all the stops/REALLY BEEN STEPPING-UPPP their game', that's bullshittt (utter bs/baloneyyy). based on nothing, completely groundless statement to make. I'm Like well.... they don't.. haven't '#hashtag Stepped-up their game in yearssss/donkeys years'. but people say these BASELESS Things to make them sound impressive when all doing is spreading misinformation. oh yeahh and this softare aka Spotify REALLY GOT IT ONNNN, IN RECENT DAYS/WEEKS and MONTHS/YEARS/Decades (They've really stepped it upppp). Er Nooooo.... They have not... Pure and SIMPLE. UTTERR UTTER CRINGEEEE. waffling way through youtube video to add fillers hoping noone will notice. what utterly baseless nonsense. (definitely caught them out there). Like saying you really stepped it up a gear, when only ever been 1 gear. and its that gear that makes bike fall backwards continuing down a hill. where there's no traction between the gears (just loose/stayed loose).
To dupe their audience. anyone with brain would know spotify HASN'T stepped up game, since 2006. (barely). its outdated. hasn't been anything new in music point since its inception. (other than data policies, maybe ever so slight tweaks to UI). Dude haven't you just been using SPOTIFY? fact is haven't stepped up game (where it matters, music) for years). Probably saying it because huge spotify fanboy. but making it out like its fact. baseless. Maybe.. idk try another music stream service like Tidal and then comeback to me and say they've stepped up their game. It's been nearly 20 years and haven't made any changes/developments. other than recommendations.
That's because they don't make money from music
They're becoming UA-cam 2.0
just get premium so you dont have to deal with ads
Listening to Japanese artists is pretty aggravating on Spotify. Missing songs, albums, EPs... It's annoying.
Agreed… my friends listen to Japanese music more than I do and they justifiably complain about this semi often. I think inconsistentcy between songs being the original Japanese, Japanese and English, or just English is a huge barrier to music discovery, as for instance searching “Coral Reef” now gives you the excellent song by Shigeru Suzuki (& my friend tells me the album that’s from wasn’t on Spotify for years)-but how would a primarily English speaker find the song outside of playlist, radio (+ etc.) recommendations? It kinda stinks.
Same thing for metal and vaporwave in my experience, kinda understandable in some cases but still super annoying
THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
I don't listen to too much Japanese music, but I was sad to see that I could not listen to Flood by Boris
I can not find ANYTHING on toshiki kadomatsu and it makes me so damn angry
I’ve found a great deal of artists who aren’t on Spotify,and it just makes me sad to have to resort to a random YT upload instead of adding them on my Spotify playlists 🙁
If you can find download links to the albums/mixtapes you’re looking for you can upload it to your phone through local files
If you're listening to music on UA-cam then tough luck, it's also bad because of a low bitrate. Ouch.
I ended up having to buy the album "We Are The Lost Loves" by Young Heretics off Discogs because it was impossible to find otherwise. Spotify hasn't had the songs available for probably years, the uploads on UA-cam are just unofficial rips from 12 years ago, and Amazon hasn't had the album for sale in years, either. Ridiculous that an album that was literally given out for free download is now borderline lost media.
@@bacone- Yeah, no. Fuck that. UA-cam's audio quality SUCKS.
@@necromax13 i don’t think you are looking for the right videos of the sound quality sucks… and there is a mixer in the app itself that can make audio quality higher
I download my music and I've always hated using music streaming, I just like having my own personal collection of stuff I can listen to at any time with no ads or restrictions. plus having the actual file just feels good.
that takes up so much storage though i wanted to do that but it’s so much
@@void151 yea, luckily I got a phone with a lot of storage, so that's not a worry
What mp3 player do you use?
@@void151 i bought a 128gb samsung sd card fpr about 20 bucks just for music . I have a lot of flac discographyes and at the moment the whole library takes only about 30-40gb
@@farisshaarawi7506 5000 high quality mp3s amounting to 15 gigabytes? Doubt.
I have precisely 5059 tracks in my carefully curated CD quality collection and it adds up to 51.7gb.
Also no one mentions this, how come half of the time streaming services get the date an album comes out wrong? (mostly older records)
I've seen tons of times where they will put an album came out on January 1st of that year
or they will just completely get the year of the album wrong and put the year the re-release came out.
Which is fine but if the re-release is the only available version then it throws people off. Especially if you are trying to listen to an artist's discography in the order the albums came out.
On Amazon music it says that green day "American idiot" came out in 1998, it came out in 2004
multiple stevie wonder albums on apple music switch between the actual year it was made and 2014
YES. SPOTIFY IS THE WORSSSST with this. I hate it
@@bigjohnson989 💀
@@stultusAKAfoolish yea like quit telling me talking book came out in 2014 apple music lol. most recent example being Mac Miller Faces not having it's original release date when it came out on streaming this year so people who aren't older mac miller fans thought it was a new album lmaooooo
Still Waiting on that Kanye Streaming Service. Hes gonna do it trust me.
stem player
If he doesn’t I’ll eat my pants
And it will flop like the stem player
he’s making a car so it’s not too far fetched
Like Jay did Tidal but we ain’t rivals
Study under him like Jesus’s disciples
My favorite Spotify Easter Egg was back in 2020 when Paul McCartney hadn’t announced his album McCartney 3 yet, when you played any song from the albums McCartney 1 and 2 you sometimes got a gif where 3 dices rolled on the album cover
That’s super cool!
"Which one do you use and why?"
"Haha no I pirate all of them"
I listen to a lot of music so I pay happily for Spotify premium for no ads and better audio quality. But I watch tv shows and movies so infrequently so when I wanna watch something I just pirate it honestly lol. I know a lot of people who spend like over 100 bucks a month on all of these different streaming sites / services and theres no way they actually get good use out of all of them. Its insane, people just giving away their money for nothing basically
The one thing i really really really loathe about streaming services is how they change their album/songs tags and it messes up my scrobbles 😡
@@aSmallGreenDot this is a video about music streaming services; we're all nerds here
I have some fishmans albums scrobbled in two forms because of switching from Tidal to Spotify
@@man4437 you got rym?
what's a scromble?
it's awful for foreign music tags ugh
I got a 2 month trial of UA-cam Music due to Google Play credit. I liked it but I have one problem with it. The seamless song transitions are bad. They cut off the last 0.5 seconds of the song and it sounds horrible.
Yeah it is annoying
Do you still have it? I don't know why people don't like it. Yeah it's not the best but Im just curious.
@@jamespadilla7070he told you why in his comment
Spotify and I are in an abusive relationship. Gaslighting. Aggression. Feeling like I’m going insane. Arguments. Everything short of throwing things.
Fortunately my parents are still agreeing to pay for a family plan, but if I was paying for Premium by myself I would have probably switched to Deezer by now. I still have my pretty vast personal iTunes and ripped CD library, but right now I made the tough decision to only leave that on my Mac only, to give myself more storage space on my aging iPhone X.
The more Spotify removes perfectly good features for zero reason, the more I wonder if the switch to streaming was even worth it. 🙁
Wrapped is fucking lit tho and like I said it’s not my money being kinda wasted right now, so it’s alright.
Buy your favorite albums from Bandcamp or CDs when possible people!!
Also something a lot of people don’t realize with streaming is that we like to *own* it. I like the way CDs feel in my hands. That’s *my* music. *My* CD. I can do what I want with it. I *own* it. This is *mine*.
Or you could just put those rips to a dedicated auto player from FiiO or something which can store 2TB.
@@Puffman it's your music if you pay for a subscription lmao???
@@Puffman My black air force 1s say that CD actually *is mine* instead. Jokes aside I 100% agree and am vehemently anti-streaming, anti-cloud.
I don’t think they removing songs because they want but because they artist don’t want them in Spotify. I was missing some songs and then they put it again.
Regular UA-cam is just fine for listening to music, except for how repetitive it gets when you don't look up the songs yourself and just use the related videos section. After some time the entire area is filled with videos you basically just listened to. But besides that it has all the songs, from super obscure to the biggest artists and it has osts for like every game unlike spotify which only has remixes most of the time. And it is pretty easy to download mp3's from UA-cam, which sadly you have to do eventually since if you wait to long a couple videos will get removed.
UA-cam is amazing at recommending random, obscure music (like '90's Japanese depressing pop) and just really nice artists. Though, sometimes when in the shower I get a literal 5 minute ad in the middle and I can't do anything 😥
I literally only use UA-cam for my music listening experience lol I do make sure to backup most of my music tho as UA-cam is pretty trigger happy with blocking songs in my region or just flat out deleting songs.
The opening is still a banger
and I see 5:19 a DankPods reference. Nice to sneak that in
I love Apple Music and Tidal, especially Tidal, the high quality of lossless music they provide for whichever project provides it.. is AMAZING. You can get to hear tiny details that the artist may have wanted you to hear, all the layers and production. It’s great!
whats your listening setup?
Does Apple music affect the sound quality? Even if it does do you listen to small artists?
@@jamespadilla7070 Apple Music has a lossless (supposed CD quality), but Tidal has "Master Quality." It's third-party coding called MQA. I do notice the improvement compared to regular Lossless compared to both Apple and Tidal, even on my consumer-grade Sennheiser BT headphones, but it's subtle at best. Perhaps if I had an external DAC and actual studio-quality headphones, the difference may be even more profound. MQA is not open-source coding if that's important to you. I believe Deezer has higher quality through FLAC, which is open-sourced.
what headphones do you use?
@@jamesyoo4779 uh but are you sure you have a good enough bluetooth codec to play that high of audio quality?
My biggest problem with Apple Music is discovering new music i like is difficult. 90% of the music they suggest to me is either songs I already have or songs that sound nothing like what I’m going for
The exact reason I switched to Spotify. Is the UI super confusing? Yeah, but the personalized playlists really allow you to branch off and discover new songs and artists
Because Apple sucks. I have an iPad but otherwise Apple is just terrible. UA-cam music is great! And you can bundle it with premium so you dont get ads on two platforms. Or what I forced my family to do is join the family plan so we all (4) get UA-cam and UA-cam music on premium for 20 bucks. It's fantastic. And the UI is super simple. Apple music is just terrible based on how few artists they have so yeah
Spotify is the WORST for this. Daily Mix 1-7 are always things i am sick of. Useless discovery feature.
SoundCloud has a very small library but it's so much better at recommendations
Dude, your art style! I paused at 1:18 just to see all the albums you've drawn. Nice work!
Ah yes, music streaming services... the main reason why I still stick to downloading MP3 files to this very day. Thanks, corporatism!
Yeah! its funny how the biggest enemies of piracy are the ones who "promote" it the most
Actually, it's a reason why pirating music nowadays is not convenient anymore (in contrast with videos streaming where you have to pay several platforms to watch everything)
@@ketenaike Yeah, but then you're also giving money to music labels... which is like giving money to Satan.
@@Ren-bo7bj and what's the best solution? Giving all the money to the artists? Definitely not, what about all the other people that worked in the song?
An intermediate I guess would be the best, but for sure downloading mp3 doesn't help at all
Eventually you start to rip music from discs and into the high quality music rabbit hole you go
Man I remember when the bullshit with De La Soul was just starting the group said fuck it and they gave away their entire discography up to that point as a free download for like a week. And that's literally the only official digital release those albums ever properly got up to this point.
Streaming sites should be renamed screaming sites due to all the attention they want
lol good one
People only use Deezer thanks to an exploit which allows anyone to download lossless music for free on the service.
It is intended to be a music streaming site.
But in practice it's a pirated music downloading site.
Technically every streaming service is actually a pirate site, you don't own a single copy of the music you listen to, you just "borrow" it for $10 a month and it's accepted since it's not free, but looking at the statistics finds that artists only get an extremely small percentage of revenue with the streaming services taking the rest. Honestly the only reason streaming even exists is to combat piracy but I find that really ironic considering it's basically a premium version of pirate bay
how to do that with Deezer? I want to know
@@rimaq_ (asking for a friend of course)
Hi I'm French and here we use Deezer a lot (maybe as much as Spotify) and it's not for this exploit, most people are not even aware of it
A lot of people do but I would say more people just use it because they like it and don't even know about the exploit lol I'm one of the people that use the exploit sometimes but I have friends that use it normally
TIDAL is extremely underrated imo. If you have a good pair of studio headphones the difference in fidelity is super noticeable between TIDAL and everything else
it's not underrated. their app just sucks so people choose not to sacrifice convenience over quality
@@HikoHikoHikoshi that, and alot of people who care about audio fidelity are the same people who would have alot of their library missing on Tidal.
You can have flac over deezer, with a nicer ui than tidal
tidal is expensive compared to others
As someone who was into that, there's value but it's generally not worth it. For most people. Also my lastfm doesn't like "Kendrick Lamar, Baby Keem" as an artist
I mostly used Spotify for about 6-10 years, but changed to YT Premium after i got a PS4. I kind of miss the radio function and personalised songs, but for such a low price i don't have to deal with 20 ads during one 30 min video on my PS4. It's a godsend.
My brother used to have a kindle fire that had spotify which inexplicably had no ads and unlimited skips and he never had premium... it was very strange
I actually like going to buy the physical albums. The booklet and artwork and all that stuff just hits different then a digital copy
This is what I've been doing for a while now. Streaming is getting so bad, too many companies removing content you want due to licensing, data harvesting, subscription models; I'm kinda getting tired of it. I've been keeping MP3s of my CDs and from... other sources on my PC that I sync to my iPod. Manually filling out the track information and lyrics is way more personal and worth the savings IMO
One thing that bugs me about Spotify as someone who likes to listen to much older music, is the weird tendency lately for the Spotify versions of songs to have sections missing. There's a whole verse cut out of the Spotify version of Cab Calloway's St. James Infirmary Blues
The mailman saga is my favorite part of your videos, i get so excited every time he pops up
It's funny how I don't see Pandora or UA-cam music in the thumbnail. I still remember when Pandora was the only one I'd ever heard of just like Skype.
Pandora is so bad tho. It's just radio. UA-cam music is very underrated tho. No one likes it for some reason.
man, i had GRIPES with pandora as someone who listens to game osts. it was either: 1. mario galaxy 2. halo. you want sonic unleashed? lol. nier? lol.
5:17
yooo a dankpods reference...was i the only one who got that???
Nope, I did too! Wade is the reason for my iPod collection lmao
I found you a week ago and I love your stuff, you deserve more recognition, man, keep at it!
you forgot to mention a stream on spotify is worth $0.00013. thereby only really giving money to the biggest artists, albeit a very very small amount. meanwhile the executives who don't actually contribute to the art that people are using their platform to consume get paid in the millions.
Bandcamp > all
Their app is getting better too. But main thing is the artists way more money.
very.
For me the downsides are the price. The lack of videogame soundtracks. And only the apple music have the shuffle all your library option. For the good old ipod times.
Just got you in my recommended today, subbed and loving the animations :)
lol i thoroughly enjoyed this, your way of presenting info is hilarious
I think listening to music on an MP3 player is the best way to do it. It works offline, its free (after buying the device itself) and you can put anything you want on it, like youtube videos in audio format. I will take an MP3 player over a streaming service any day.
Thanks to Dank Pods I have procured an iPod collection. And following Louis Rossmann and seeing how greedy corporation have gotten I've been looking at owning more of the content that I like, like DVDs, CDs, and MP3s. No corporation can touch my music library
You can still do on iPhone/ipods. Just sync thru apple music
i love this type of content. Even though you are done with the 30-1min album by chance when something drops thats just that good could you bring it back for that sole reason? just once every blue moon drop?
The best thing about this is that I got a music streaming add right as I clicked on the video
I use tidal cause sound quality
yes and bastard from tyler the creator is on there too
Is it really? Hmm that's dope
I use Spotify and is pretty nice overall, in PC I had a problem with the recent versions, a bug that closes the program in the middle of a song, but I installed an old version and I use it all day without problem, I like the interface, the music sounds great and I have all my liked songs since 2017 there, so I don't think I will change the service anytime soon
Soundcloud just chilling in the back with the best free service of them all.
Sooo jokes! Quite an insight breakdown I never knew that about the minions Easter egg 😂
i never cared for streaming. Might be showing my age, but it reminds me of the big box CD stores where they had the CD players that you could listen to the album before buying it. It feels so much better owning it (arrr)
Totally understand. I probably wouldn’t be using Spotify Premium anymore if I wasn’t on a Family Plan-Spotify has fucked up their service SO bad the last 5 years. A steady nosedive, with a great recommendation algorithm and Wrapped being its only saving graces.
Problem for me is, I usually don’t like a whole album. There are exceptions, but the vast majority of musicians I listen to I probably only listen to 1-5 songs throughout their entire discography. Which would be fine if it weren’t for the fact that my playlist has almost 2,000 songs and that would be quite the hit to my wallet. I actually just got a notification this morning saying I listened to 761 artists in 2021... that’s a lot. I also listen to music mostly at work so it needs to be on my phone. But I also like the seamless ness of telling my google home to play Spotify or my PlayStation or my laptop. It just works together, which is nice. I’m also not even sure how to download songs to my phone cause it’s one of those phones that doesn’t have a dedicated audio app and instead everything just gets dumped into “files.” I’ll just stick with the $10 Spotify. Easy, has parity, low cost, and some cool features like Wrapped, Discover, and Blend. I’m surprised I haven’t heard anyone mention blend yet.
I use streaming on desktop to find new tracks. As for actually listening - only downloading because it's far more convenient.
@@Diphenhydra You can download individual tracks pretty easily.
@@Sasha-zw9ss Just gotta dawn an eyepatch if ya know what I mean
let's just hope the music streaming industry keep this way and not like series/movie streaming industry where we got like 10 million streaming services
i'm definitely addicted on your yt channel m8 keep it up
your music taste is so fire, especially including ken Carson🙏
i hate music streaming services, mainly spotify. but there's one huge benefit: easy access and discovery of any song ever, with an algorithm that knows your mom better than i do. it makes me, a music fan absolutely fall in looove with music even more. i have an unreasonable amount of playlists.
anyways, being busy learning music software and theory, i unsubscribed to spotify, and stopped buying albums on bandcamp to buy plugins etc. i didn't realize it made making music much harder, imagine a painter who doesn't take inspiration from artworks, graphic designers who don't make mood boards, the creative process isn't something where you get lucky or create something new entirely on the spot by will. often times it's just "oh i wanna do something like that" the shit that gives you energy.
i've been seeing that aspect of the creative process as plagiarism, or being a copycat, but at the same time almost everything i've gotten DONE is because i blended a genre with something, or wanted to make something like an artist, of course to my taste and ability, i don't know if that's all of the creative process but that certainly feels like the majority when i reflect on it.
i'm also a majorly visual person, if i don't have a visual for a track, i don't know what notes or synths i'm gonna use.
I use youtube 4 music, not youtube music, just youtube
Just found your content, I enjoyed all of your content please keep making them 😁👍

The thing with soundcloud you cant say about yt is finding super talented people that are underrated but masters in mixing Soundcloud has blown my mind so many times idk i feel theres more unique songs on there alot you cant find on yt
SoundCloud is my home
You should do a vid like this about the evolution/purpose/prominence of skits in albums

Hell yea Dank Pods
7:11 Well, they used to. It could just be my phone, but I got a notification from Spotify a few weeks ago that they’re gonna disable the voice requests. And honestly, I don’t feel like that feature was used enough. Like, if it could hear the song while it’s playing and save it like Shazam does, then it’ll be a different story 🤷🏽♂️
excited to see what you have to say about tidal
The dankpods reference is well appreciated
I love putting random weird images of myself as the spotify canvas for my songs
5:19 I smell dankpods reference
even though music streaming services are getting better quality audio I still stay buying my music on itunes and bandcamp or my massive CD collection which reaches almost 10k songs on physical media alone. I've always liked higher quality audio and being able to hold my music.
Love the DankPods reference at 5:19. 😂
there’s a semi-Napster still out there called Soulseek, found great things in there but stay quiet 🤫
Where's Bandcamp when you need it? It's basically iTunes + Spotify, but without ads. And you can also publish your music there without a third party.
iTunes Match is the perfect solution for me. I only pay $25 PER YEAR to stream my music to my iPhone or iTunes. I have thousands of albums on CD, so iTunes matches all my music files to their database and either matches it to their music store or uploads the file if it cannot match. I have a 100,000 song limit for uploads/matches while purchased songs from iTunes does not count against the limit. I can edit the tags of the music to be more accurate than the store's info on music. I cannot believe it took me 10 years to discover this perfect solution. A hybrid of ripped music from CD's and the online features to match and can be streamed. ONLY $25 A YEAR! What the HELL are you people doing by paying monthly for a music subscription???
i don't have an iPhone, that's the thing lmao
What I do is I listen to SiriusXM (40s junction) to find the music I like, then I find those songs on UA-cam and record them to a cassette. I currently have a 10 cassette music library, so about 15 hours in total. I just take one cassette for the day and i just play it for the day and switch it out the next day. I can also pop it in my bedside cassette deck when I sleep and it auto reverses and counts as a background music machine, and when I drive I can pop in the aux cord and hear it there. I have no idea how all these phone things work, and I like physical media so I've found this is the perfect solution. Plus all the music I like is from the 1940s and no streaming services really have any of the songs I like.
what a nice channel i found good work dude
Huge points for having an underground 9th wonder beat in here 0:50 . Caught me way off guard. Also, before I hit comment, the irony being that you'll never find that beat on any streaming service and one would have to scour the internet and download some mp3s themselves 🤣
I appreciate the various theme from Maplestory haha
What about Tidal or Quobuz

Glad someone made a video 👍🔥
Came for streaming services, stayed for River Joe
9:08 as a red boi music user yeah it has really annoyed me for years
apple music does allow you to add downloaded music to the app. you have to do it on the desktop version, but once you do it they will keep it in the cloud and all that jazz, which is pretty convenient! unfortunately it doesn’t take that music into account for algorithmic preferences but it’s completely understandable why
Now that is some good sandpaper
You did forget one streaming service that I think was actually a mobile radio service called Milk Music. Sad thing is it was only for Samsung users and shut down in 2016. It was like a radio for mobile phones and actually had a colorful dial the represents each genre of music. For example: blue would be electronic, green would be rock, and country would be in the middle with a dark green. I remember opening Milk music at night sleeping to either pop or R&B. Please anyone out there if y'all remember Milk music say something, and yes it was the one powered by slacker.

I don’t listen to music on the road, only when I’m on my laptop. With YT adblocker, it’s pretty nice. To be fair, I don’t look for new music, I just search what I alr know.
A year later, how are you doing with ad blockers? The reason I ask is because YT has bee especially cracking down.
@@palmshoot I’ve had to switch ad blockers like twice but you know, that’s quick and easy so it’s no hassle to do.
I use youtube music bc it has alot of songs that something like Spotify wouldn't consider a song. And because I found a really fast and satisfying ad skip and it's just fun to do
As long as streaming services refuse to pay their laborers, I will refuse to pay streaming services.
Love the dankpods reference

Tidal is great - if you have a high end pair of headphones and/or a set of hifi quality speakers to run it through. Lossless is great, and honestly listening to music with it helps point out little ‘things’ you didn’t know where there - Morcheeba and MF DOOM (Especially Madvillainy) come to mind, as well as OSees and Kikagaku Moyo. They really shine and glimmer when it comes to lossless format, and even more so on a very good turntable and system.
Spotify is getting more and more ‘suspicious’ as of late with its TOS being very shifty - plus a few artists have pulled from the service all together because of this stuff. But, you also get put in for one of colour variants on vinyl releases, merch, and the catalogue is bigger. Personally, Tidal, Bandcamp and UA-cam are where I’ll stick.
You don't need that great of headphones. I can tell the difference very clearly through even my ath m40x's
I’m an Amazon music guy, and they have Ultra Hd music or whatever it is and I’m not sure how close that is to lossless but it does sound better than most other streaming services I’ve used. (I haven’t used tidal)
Edit- I looked it up and Ultra Hd is on par with Tidal HiFi (Amazon at 24-bit/44.1 kHz and tidal at 16-bit/44.1 kHz)
But tidal master audio is 24-bit/192 kHz

YT music has most music you can’t find on Spotify or Apple
UA-cam music has pretty much every song imaginable, just not as good of an app as apple or spotify.
But who needs an app. I like how upfront UA-cam music is. It's not exactly polished but it gets the job done while having more artists and a direct link to Playlists on UA-cam which you can access on almost every app
I use both Spotify and Apple Music because they both have pros and cons that the other doesn't have. I wasn't using any streaming services until 4th quarter of 2018. I only use them for the convenience, stats, somewhat of a support for artists and to share my playlists and listen to other's created playlists but them not having EVERYTHING at the click of a button like a lot of my favorite classic mixtapes is the reason why I can never make the full transition.
Just use youtube music its the best there ever is
UA-cam music has too much music. I know the UI isn't what people want. But I want music not fancy little color gradients like apple. If the artist doesn't have specific songs or albums up you can still find them and download them as songs within the yt music app because it has access to any video listed under music or song. You can even listen to songs that were copyrighted. It's amazing but people don't like it for some reason.
I absolutely LOVE the Halley Labs representation ❤️
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live to see the day when De La gets their songs on streaming
I use UA-cam for finding new music, and when I really like an album or can't find the whole thing, I buy it on CD. I recently got Genesis ~Tuzzy Muzzy~ by Rosenkreuz and DystopiaGround #005 by DystopiaGround.
Tidal has been nothing but amazing after 2 years of heavy use
I currently have Spotify but I’ve been thinking about going offline as I mostly listen to the same music, there’s no point in paying a monthly subscription for that.
That minions joke caught me off guard 🤣🤣🤣
How tf is soundcloud not a big platform, it’s literally heaven for all electronic music enjoyers (especially dnb)
Unless you make unofficial remixes💀💀💀
