I’ve been using Spotify for a long time now, even through its constant price hikes and continuing lack of Spotify Hi-Fi, which has been ‘coming soon’ for a while now. The reason why is because I find its interface to be the most user-friendly and it has the most relevant music library to me (video game soundtracks mainly).
Having worked in A/V retail, I’m used to using the best music streaming services, including Spotify, Tidal, and Apple Music to demo hi-fi systems, so I know that Spotify, which is capped at 320kbps as opposed to Tidal’s 1411kbps, is not the best in terms of actual streaming quality. But one thing I have always enjoyed is the very personal aspect of Spotify, which has so many personalized playlists I’ve now lost count.
