    So that’s a big fuck no for me, gonna need to replace it in the morning. Someone mentioned Tidal on the article, anyone have experience to give it or others a recommendation?

    Identical “it’s a library, not a radio” style if possible but not run by fools would be ideal. Thanks.

      I recently switched from Spotify to Tidal. Tidal sounds better on my car stereo and doesn’t have podcast/ebook crap that I don’t need. Tidal recommendations are almost as good as Spotify, but it’s improved a lot this year and it’s catching up. Tidal recommends a lot of music that’s in genres I normally wouldn’t explore but I end up liking many of them, while Spotify recommendations are completely locked into the genre of whatever track/playlist I’m listening to.

      I tried Qobuz and Deezer too. Deezer Android app was unusable because it’s so outdated and poorly designed, while Qobuz recommendations were so bad that I’m convinced they recommend completely random tracks as opposed to using an algorithm.

      I dumped Spotify for tidal. I have never compared what each has, but I have never run into anything I was looking to play not being on tidal.

      The biggest difference I have noticed, tidal loses its place in my playlist when the app completely closes. It also loses place on a song when reopening from time to time. Nothing that is a deal breaker.

      I switched to tidal from Spotify last year and am very happy. It just does music - no audio books, videos, podcasts - but to my mind that’s a feature. Music quality is far far better. The algorithm for recommendations I think is good.

      I found streaming on the move less reliable until I dropped the audio quality and now it’s solid.
