I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”.

Why am I seeing ads if I’m already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

    Apple Music pays musicians, Qobuz pays the best and costs the most

    They both sound really good. If you have the money and are willing to compromise on a few things than Qobuz is the nice one

    There’s also Tidal. Which pays well but is a buggy mess

      Apple also rolled out a really good seaparate app specifically for browsing and listening to classical music.

      Classical music doesn’t organize easily into “bands/albums” the way most works from the last 80 years do. Most music players tend to fall apart when you try to organize a library of classical music in any coherent manner. So they solved this problem by desiging a completely separate UI for it.

      I’ve actually had zero issues with tidal since I switched a couple of months ago, it pays artists better and I think it has more artists on it. I don’t use the mobile app much though if that’s what’s buggy, I mainly use the desktop app (on Linux) and occasionally the Plex integration to listen from my tv
