Those acts are seeing pennies on their streaming statements.Ĭancelling all your streaming accounts is one solution, but that doesn’t really help artists or songwriters, either. Things are much different for emerging artists, your old favorites from 90s alternative rock, or hip hop. If you’re an artist at the top of the charts-Taylor Swift or The Weeknd, or one of the best-loved catalog acts (The Beatles or Led Zeppelin)-streaming royalties are a lucrative source of income. The overwhelming majority of streams at all the music services are from a handful of current hit acts.

And that’s not even counting the live TV content you can’t get with just a TV antenna. If you subscribed to Netflix ($15.49), Disney+ ($8), Prime Video ($8.99), HBO Max ($14.99), Paramount+ ($4.99), Apple TV+ ($4.99), Hulu ($6.99), Peacock ($4.99), Showtime ($10.99), Criterion Channel ($9.99), Starz ($8.99), and Epix ($5.99), you’d be at just over $105 per month and still have just a sliver of all the movies and shows available to rent or buy in digital format.

How we test music streaming servicesįor Bluetooth wireless listening, I used Beats Studio 3 over-ear headphones, Apple AirPods Pro, and Astell&Kern’s excellent new AK UW100 earbuds. Finally, our Apple Music Voice review, by Jonathan Takiff, revealed that service to be a good value, but it comes with too many restrictions: For starters, it’s an iOS-only service you can’t use it with Alexa, Android, Google Assistant, or Sonos. Our Amazon Music Unlimited review brought that service closer to making the cut, but it just isn’t as plugged into the contemporary music scene as our top picks. Our Deezer review led to the same conclusion. Well, almost every other major streaming service now offers lossless-or better-streaming, so Spotify’s audio quality is no longer up to snuff.

With its massive user base and impressive music recommendation engine, you might have expected our Spotify review to place it higher on our list. According to an estimate published by The Financial Times in July, it had 32 million subscribers to its music plans, which include Unlimited, its all-you-can-eat offering to compete with Spotify and Apple Music, as well as its more reduced catalog on Prime Music.Where’s my favorite music streaming service?ĭon’t see your favorite streaming service listed above? Rest assured, we’ve probably reviewed it-and found it wanting. Qobuz, the music lovers’ Hi-Res streaming and download provider, is now the first music service to deliver 24-bit Hi-Res audio streaming on Sonos.

Amazon, which often targets older consumers and families, has not disclosed its subscriber figures. The move by Amazon could put pressure on the other major services to adapt.

For $20 a month, Deezer HiFi offers tracks at the equivalent of CD quality, and Tidal has what it calls “master-quality” tracks using the MQA format. Several smaller services do offer high-fidelity audio, of various kinds.

Spotify and Apple, the two biggest players - with 232 million and 56 million users each month, respectively - offer no high-resolution tiers. For the biggest digital music services, high-resolution audio has largely been an afterthought until now.
