What is the best music streaming service in terms of size of music library and promptness of availability for new music?

What is the best music streaming service in terms of size of music library and promptness of availability for new music?

You can't have both

Spotify has the best availability

Apple Music has the best library

I'd pick Spotify

From what I hear, you can't go wrong with spotify

Apple Music is the only thing worth your $5/$10 a month

Spotify still doesn't even have AMSP

kek

they dont have in rainbows and they get delayed by a week on any new hip hop releases, it's been ruining my life

>doesn't have the shittiest Radiohead album

Who gives a fuck? That's because Radiohead don't like free streaming.

Well I guess if you're a tasteless redditor AM would perfectly fit your wants and needs.
You probably would benefit from their entry level playlists too. One day you'll have good taste!

>tfw torrenting everything will never be convenient again

Either way Spotify is shittier than AM and arguably TIDAL so you're a uninformed pleb even by streaming standards if you pay out of pocket for an inferior service

Is all I was trying to say

I would not trade Spotify with student discount for anything tbqh. Chromecast support and their own Connect feature are super handy

>defending SpotiSHIT this hard because you're already locked in to a shittier service

But seriously OP Apple Music is the way to go

Why is it shittier?

I'm currently on an AM subscription. The service is shite and aimed towards kids like you who don't know what to listen to because you're still new to music.

Yeah no you're not and I can tell becaus the recommendations are curated by your tastes and library unlike Spotify which just makes hundreds of computer generated playlists that they hope you'll like

AM is objectively the best streaming service

you're not better than me because you listen to less types of music than i do by avoiding mainstream. spotify's missing a ton of music, but i would obviously mention the stuff that effects the majority, ie, mainstream, you fuck.

this

Also the fact that I can easlily integrate it with my current library was what ultimately made me switch from Spotify

Spotify misses plenty of great music like This Heat, Popol Vuh, and Andy Stott but it's still quicker than AM and better functioning than AM.
You seem to be getting frustrated with me. Mad because I know more than you?

And yes, I do have a subscription that will officially end on the 16th. LOOK AT THIS GARBAGE. I ONLY SELECTED CLASSICAL, EXPERIMENTAL, AND ELECTRONIC.

You're defending this. You're either a shill or a newfag.

That's the for you page which is not the playlists that are selected for your tastes

Go away Spotify shill/misinformed consumer

Look at this great music service guys! Will recommend entry-level bullshit even if you're trying your best to get it to go beyond the bullshit!

Only for 18 year olds. Spotify's Discover is a LOT MORE ENLIGHTENING than AM's borderline P4k taste.

>doesn't have the best Radiohead album

Fixed

And this is literally the first page that opens up for you when you first open up the the service so it can get a basic idea of what you like

Try harder shill

>which is not the playlists that are selected for your tastes
How retarded are you? Yes, the FOR YOU section is for the playlists tailored FOR YOU.

you're all fags for streaming music
>not just torrenting
lmao

Answer this question: how old are you?

No that's in the recommended section you retard

...

AMSP is coming to Spotify this month

Look at my posts and recognize that I never defended AM. I am pointing out spotifys faults to warn potential buyers, you fuck.

Hey guys

why has no one mentioned the clearly superior service, Google Play

Are you going to tell me how old you are?

Because that is also inferior to Spotify

Now how old are you?

Does it matter? I'm 21, you're still an idiot

Hey this isn't me.
The 18 year old got offended by my BTFO of him

Play is probably the best functionally

23
now how is spotify superior to google play? explain

>NO SPOTIFY IS BETTER YHAN EVERYTHING
>HOW OLD ARE YOU REEEEE


Kek this is you buddy

You're 21 and you're whining about AMSP not being on Spotify? Bullshit. Go back to lleddit kid where you came from.
You're spamming a lot, kid.

Jesus dude just accept that Spotify isn't streaming king anymore

It used to be

>going this far to defend a streaming service objectively inferior to GP/AM

I'm starting to think you really are a shill

i was complaining about in rainbows, if you'd read my posts you'd have known that. you're confusing who's who among the multiple people that think you're an idiot.

>multiple people
2 redditors.

Ignoring this shitshow OP I recommend Apple Music although Google Play is a worthy alternative

is radiohead only for redditors? you don't make sense

I would have thought Tidal would be Sup Forums's pick because it's the only service that offers FLAC.

Of fucking course it is you fucking faggot

Streaming FLAC only is pointless when you consider it's a format mean for archiving

Maybe if they allowed downloads or the option to integrate it with your library it wouldn't be a total failure

nah

and now I know you're just baiting

Thanks

Ah...why are you so mad? Go seek help.

T. redditors

Just got the trial of apple music, how the fuck do i use this thing? It's scanning my library now, do i need to get all my artists in before streaming? I tried just searching for shit but it brought me to the store and I couldn't play anything. Never touched this program and only used spotify before.

iPhone / Mac = AM
Android / Windows = GP
Shit = Spotify and everything else

whattunes

No you can always intergrate your library in later

ok then what the fuck do i do, how do i go to where i can stream music? Does it not work anything like spotify?

Google play

If you're using iTunes on your computer just go to the For You/New tabs located on the top and start exploring man

I believe it works the same way on mobile

Youtube. Seriously whatever you want, don't pay. who the fuck cares.

I unironically also agree with this and the combination of RYM/last.fm

>look up stuff
>doesn't have a single dungeon synth playlist
>doesn't have a single funeral doom playlist
>doesn't have a single dark jazz playlist
>spotify has all of this stuff
what the fuck the does this have that spotify doesn't lmao. Like, why even use this over spotify? Is this just the normie option?

Ah you're that Spotify shill from earlier I can tell

Well baited friend

Wallpaper for you my friend.

I literally started posting here
Seriously, what does this have that spotify doesn't, because I can't figure it out. It's also slow as fuck and lags. I want to switch because i fucking hate how spotify gives nothing to anyone who's on it, but i need a reason to.

Well I've tried all of the "big 4" so if you don't like AM or Spotify then start downloading and making your own library like you should be doing in the first place

But w/e choice is yours

>look up esoteric
>YOU LITERALLY CANNOT GET TO THE ESOTERIC BAND PAGE BECAUSE SOME OTHER ARTISTS HAVE THE SAME NAME, THEY JUST SHARE THE PAGE
oh my fucking god, this is pathetic, i didn't expect it to be this bad, hahaha
ok then why did you choose AM over spotify?
>then start downloading and making your own library
I do that, I soulseek records that i can't get through streaming, I just can't figure out why AM would possibly be better, so far it's been worse in every way imaginable.

image for proof, how do you defend this brilliant organization?

Availability/Playlists honestly. Not to mention user interface but that is purely subjective.

I mean I stream and constantly update a library of my own and I found Apple Music compliments my style of the best compared to the other three services although I do reccomend trying out Google Play of you didn't like AM

Why is Spotify's interface so awkward? Specially the Windows version

>look up black metal playlists
>all entry level garbage, including black veil prides playlist
>look at the only one that seems ok
>THEY PUT A TRIPTYKON (LITERALLY A DOOM METAL BAND) IN THEIR BLACK METAL PLAYLIST
this is actually the worst thing I've ever seen, i was so ready to ditch spotify, but this is hilarious. How does anyone see this and think this is ok? Can you actually defend this? I know you can't. I can only assume the only reason people are using this is because they're the kind of people who think Radiohead is avant-garde, there is no other explanation. They put a doom metal band in a black metal playlist hahaha holy shit.

So you're definitely Spotify shill

I can't believe I was baited twice

Shame on me

>look up doom metal playlists
>only 8 of the 36 playlists contain doom metal
jesus christ hahahahha
how am i a fucking shill? I am giving you direct evidence from a totally neutral perspective that it's shit, and somehow you think it's fine to just ignore all of it and call it bait. Like how does that logically connect? How do you justify that? Why are you not directly countering my evidence and arguments?

Nobody cares about your literal sub-sub genre of rock music and its incorporation into one or two playlists out of thousands

Get over yourself if that's why you think Spotify is in any way better than AM. Baited for the third time so shame on you again?

>liking doom metal in the first place
You deserved worse.

Alright, then give me evidence as to why it's better then. I've been giving you evidence as to why it's shit, and you're just calling me bait for no reason. You haven't provided a single argument backed up with facts. Why not? Can you not?

see
which you completely disregarded because it didn't have MUH SUB GENRE OF METAL RAWK

but anyway I'm tired and advise you to feel free to use whatever streaming service you choose although I would like to point out it is and always will be inferior to having your own library whether it be physical or digital

and

AM > GP > the rest

I didn't ignore it, why do you think I went to playlists?

I will say, these classical recordings are pretty sweet, the complete works album I had to listen to on youtube. Tbh I don 't use spotify for metal much anyway, so maybe this would be good to switch if it's somehow better for jazz/classical.
why would i care about your opinions, I want to show me actual actual evidence as to why it's better, beyond any subjective bullshit. If you can't do that then you're wrong.

...why not just pirate

There's subjectivity in every choice

Or do you want to be spoonfed? Because that's what it sounds like. And that make you a child who can't form his own opinions. But I digress, do whatever you want as I don't really care how you listen to music, I honestly could not give a single fuck

agreed

This dude. I'm in the same boat and I love it. Google Play is pretty sweet too, have my whole library there and can stream with Chromecast. Chromecast has been fucking with me lately in terms of connecting.

>spoonfed
No, I'm asking for a counter argument instead of being a pussy and just saying "it's all subjective" the second someone posts evidence that it contrary to your beliefs. Be a man and defend yourself. The thread is literally about which streamer service is better and you're coming in here saying "I like this because i like this, i can't argue back because much subjectivity". Your only argument was the playlists, so I, engaging in your argument, looked at the playlists, and posted proof that they were terrible. How fucking hard is to post counter evidence that they are good?

Learn the definitions of subjectivity and objectivity. I'm assuming you're underage and don't truly know the definition of the words.

Enjoy Spotify although know it is mediocre. Not falling for your bait again but I will admit you are very good at this

Honestly it depends on if you own Apple products or not but yeah anything is better than Spotify

I assume TIDAL is not even in consideration

>being a streamfag
>not downloading everything

this

>take up space in phone/computer


no thanks,

Also Sporify wins by default because you can download the apk that comes with premium features for free, with Android phones I mean, iCucks need not apply

go away spotify shill

you're a pleb and always will be

>streaming

but yeah if you have too go with Google/Apple

Spotify, as of 2016, has really shitty recent availability and lacks exclusives

>not having a computer with enough storage
>not having your own private cloud at home that you can access any time on your phone

Come on, user. they make microsd cards with 100+ gigs now

you're retarded btw

>Learn the definitions of subjectivity and objectivity
Of course this is subjective, do you think I'm retarded enough to somehow think there is an objectively best streaming service? No, this isn't about what i want, if i really wanted to i would just use it for a while and determine this for myself. No, this is about us having an argument, and me wanting YOU to defend yourself. Nobody goes on Sup Forums and wants to just have completely casual conversations and chill and have fun. Nobody (well ok, nobody who has started posting on this site before 2010). People go, or at least used to go, on Sup Forums because they wanted to argue and get angry at strangers. This neo attitude that Sup Forums should be like reddit and just have people say opinions and never defend is cancer, because now the only people who do defend them just call each other faggot because they think that's what you're supposed to do.

I'm not talking to you right now not just to find the better streaming service, I"m talking to you to have an argument and get angry, which is basically what this site was made for. You can just ignore me and call everything subjective all you want, but you're missing the point of the site you're posting on.
t. neo Sup Forums

listen man I'm not even reading the entirety of your posts at this point

I'm pretty high and chilling listening to some of my favorite music right now

You invest too much in this site I was just trying to give OP my opinion. I hope you're as passionate about Sup Forums as you are about other aspects in your life. I'm serious though good conversation m8.

>calling people kids
>is obviously 14 himself

I hope mom makes meat loaf for dinner!

HOLY FUCKING CRINGE

also AM is better than Spotify IMO

good day

>I'm pretty high and chilling listening to some of my favorite music right now
And I'm drinking at 12 am on a Wednesday night listening to early enslaved, welcome to the dregs of the internet.
>I hope you're as passionate about Sup Forums as you are about other aspects in your life
No, I've just watched as this site as crumbled and it upsets me every time I'm reminded of it.

Like I said it's just a website and no matter what age you're at I hope you have an education/job/wife/family or something that is more important to you than this site and music because it's not that serious

But who knows maybe I'm just a faggot
