I am looking to move on from spotify, what music streaming service pays the artists the best while still having a large library.

    I strongly recommend Apple Music. It has one of the largest libraries and pays better than YouTube, Amazon, or Spotify.

    Apple Music is also platform agnostic; there’s even a browser version now. Also, you can download music and choose the quality. It’s far less “algorithm-y,” which I prefer.

    Tidal and Qobuz do pay out more, but have much smaller libraries. I don’t personally like them much. The apps feel subpar.

    YouTube and Amazon are straight up bad experiences for me. If this was back in 2013, I’d actually have recommended Google Play Music. RIP.

      Apple music on android is so bad that I didn’t even wait for my premium trial to end to cancel.

        What device? I’ve only used it on the Samsung S22 Ultra and the Pixel 7. IMO was a fantastic experience.

          Device doesn’t matter, the app sucks. It doesn’t even have volume normalization. You just get hit with a sound blast out of nowhere because you had to turn it up to hear the previous song.
