I am surprised that people know what amazon music is.

“Loved” and “included with Prime” aren’t necessarily the same.

[-] Wootz@lemmy.world 92 points 1 year ago

Neither is "loved" and "most subscribed to"

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Most tolerable is far more accurate.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 15 points 1 year ago

More difficult to cancel

Paying for Amazon Music and using Amazon Music are two different things.

[-] Armand1@lemmy.world 74 points 1 year ago

Meanwhile, Deezer is completely unknown. No one in the comments even mentioned it. RIP.

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 20 points 1 year ago

No one's mentioned Qobuz either. It's like Spotify+iTunes except lossless.

[-] jsh@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

How do you pronounce 'Qobuz'? Is it 'quo-buzz'?

I like Deezer. I've been using it and telling people about it since Spotify was insistent about being focused on chasing a politically charged content (over) investment instead of delivering quality, behavior driven content based on their algo.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Deezer nuts

[-] notthebees@reddthat.com 9 points 1 year ago

ikr. Deezer can't be that unknown. Right?

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The redesign is terrible...

But Deezer is great! I have been using it for years now, it's missing a couple of songs here and there but the ability to import MP3s makes up for it.

[-] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Another Deezer user in the wild! Been a subscriber to it for years now.

I'm a huge fan of Tidal. Musicians actually get paid more, probably because they're not wasting money on exclusive podcasts.

[-] BeardedBlaze@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

I liked tidal, until they doubled my subscription cost.

[-] paf0@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Did that happen when they rolled out HiFi for everyone? They actually lowered my HiFi family plan cost at that time, which was unexpected.

3 months ago I cancelled Spotify, following yet another price increase. I went to Tidal for the 2 month trial, and another month full price.

This month I cancelled Tidal, following their deprecation of Plex integration, my finding a couple tracks with bad meta data, and some other here-and-there’s where the service was lackluster.

I’m current on Apple Music.

I like that Apple Music has lossless, like Tidal did. The Apple Music algo seems a bit better so far, even comparing to Spotify or the last time I tried Apple Music (~3-4 years ago). And, one of the things I didn’t know I wanted, music videos for my morning jam time, are better with Apple Music.

I imagine I’ll be staying here for a while.

[-] Hazmatastic@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Made the switch to Tidal, and I only have a couple nitpicks: no console app and it does this weird thing on desktop where it plays a split second of paused music when other apps or windows are opened. They're small things though, and I'm happy to be supporting artists more.

[-] paf0@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Sometimes I miss the Spotify "Radio" playlists. Also, having the desktop sync with mobile so I could just switch players and keep the same playlist was also nice. It's been over two years though and I don't miss it enough to go back, Tidal is mostly a comparable experience.

What percentage of us love pirating music and putting it on Plex?

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago
[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

Honestly, I think this is the biggest reason that music subscriptions are popular.

Nobody cares enough to curate their own music collection anymore, even if it's entirely legal, it's just too much damn work for most people.

Unless you have a special interest in music, eg, audiophiles, then it doesn't matter enough to spend any time on it. As long as you can listen to what you want, when you want, who cares?

Been happy buying music from Bandcamp and not having a subscription. Didn't even make it onto the chart :(

[-] pmc 37 points 1 year ago

Where's "directory full of FLACs bought from Bandcamp and ripped from CDs"?

"Confused Jellyfin / Subsonic noises"

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

You know why I choose Amazon Music.? Because it allows me to purchase songs I like and then I can download them to my computer separate from their player. You can't do that with Spotify. Of course recently I found songs on Amazon that are not available forsale which pisses me off, so if anyone knows a place I get those songs I would appreciate it.

Not that I want to pirate but if you don't allow me ownership of the digital content then it's what I am going do.

[-] Sasha 12 points 1 year ago

Just pirate, it's better than paying these companies to rip off artists. Support your favourite artists directly, streams are basically worthless compared to other forms of income like merch.

Wouldn't you know it, there's a wikipedia article for that. I personally have used 7digital and bandcamp, but qobuz has been mentioned several times in other comments and hdtracks seems like it might work after you create an account.

People love Amazon music? It fucking sucks.

Dumbest music organizer I know of.

[-] Hegar@fedia.io 26 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure if you're paying for it, that's not love.

I got YouTube music and YouTube premium because I needed more Google drive storage.

Loved isn't the word I would use.

It's adequate for day to day background noise that isn't ad-filled garbage and music I hate.

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Nobody needs more google drive storage my friend. Nobody does.

+1, I only have a yt music sub because it's grandfathered in with my yt premium subscription and extra drive storage. YT music recommendations are mildly terrible compared to Spotify, but I'm not throwing $15/mo at Spotify when I only use it a few times a year.

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 20 points 1 year ago

I am surprised that people know what amazon music is.

I didn't until this moment. lol

[-] kometes@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

You can say, "alexa, play classic punk" and suddenly you are using Amazon Music.

Would've liked to see what percentage have none.

I'm still buying CDs to rip and having my music library as MP3s on my phone. No internet connection required, I have total control of the files, and a physical backup if needed.

[-] n3cr0@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Soundcloud + Bandcamp and a 3rd party client like Newpipe is the only valid option for me.

Downloading music and playing it offline is better than streaming low quality audio on a subscription.

Honest question, why should I be paying for a music streaming app when I already have YouTube premium? Also, does no one use Pandora anymore? I still use it occasionally.

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

why should I be paying for a music streaming app when I already have YouTube premium?

You mean because that subscription includes premium YouTube Music?
