Spotify has long been considered the best music streaming service thanks to its extensive music library, user-friendly interface, smart recommendations and sleek design. However, the music streaming space has changed since Spotify launched in 2008. Since then, rivals have upped their game and launched new products catering to different listeners. Although Spotify is still our top choice for most people, services like Tidal, Apple Music, and Qobuz offer compelling alternatives tailored to specific needs. So, how do you choose the best music streaming service for you? 

I’ve spent the past few months testing out the best music streaming services for our reviews, like our Tidal review and Spotify review. This has given me a good insight into the nuances of what each service offers, from sound quality and recommendations to functionality and user experience. With that in mind, here are some of my thoughts that should help you choose the best music streaming service for you based on your preferences and listening habits.
