I have the Apple Music subscription. They just raised it a buck a month so now $10.99.

I still have a free trial of Apple Music, but it will end soon. My main streaming is from TIDAL, but I also steam my Sirius/XM account for general listening when I'm up and about. It actually sounds pretty pretty good when streamed as opposed to over satellite radio.

Until recently, I was streaming from my Mac mini, but I finally got a Bluesound Node, which is a dedicated streamer/DAC. I now stream from the Node to my McIntosh MA352 integrated amp.

****EDIT******
Also, if anyone cares, TIDAL and possibly other services had a military discount. That softens the monthly payment.

Partway thru an Apple Music free trial, and will absolutely pay for it when my trial runs out!

I have Apple Music as part of Apple One; but I primarily listen to classical music. For that I really like Idagio. On Apple Music if you ask for a classical music piece you usually get just one movement. Idagio has many different recordings, old and new, but all of high quality, for pretty much any piece of classical music.

Apple bought Primephonic which was a competitor for Idagio; they were to bring Primephonic back as part of Apple Music, but I don't see that they've done that.

Apple Music with family plan. Apple One, really. I like the music wandering through related acts that I may or may not have heard of, and the Essentials playlists scratch an itch when I want a particular artist but not album.

Apple Music and Sirius/XM paid and Jazzradio free service.

Apple Music. Sirius XM. I find Apple Music without real value, compared to other streaming services. The music offered is clearly for a much younger generation, and finding "my" station is impossible. YouTube Music is far better at providing songs that I want to hear. Apple Music has my library, though, and my playlists for my church and band rehearsals, so I am stuck paying for it.

TuneIn Radio.

It's free and works perfect.

I have Spotify since they have the best selection of independent musicians

Im checking out Qobuz which is getting better
Apple music since I have it with the One package

many of my friends are full time professional musicians so I try to stay with platforms that pay them the most

My wife refuses to give up her subscription to SiriusXM in her Jeep, because radio reception is very poor around here. So we put the Sirius app on our phones.

Don't got none

Just Pandora.
Easy to use and I can find what I like.

I wouldn't give Pandora a single cent, nor would I knowingly patronize their advertisers.

Internet radio rather than a "streaming" service (you don't get to choose the individual songs, but there are several thematic "channels"). Usually a pretty good mix if you like progressive rock, etc. but sometimes very eclectic. Free, no ads, listen in your browser, and there are mobile phone apps.

BINGO! We have a WINNER!

SomaFM and many others.

WNRN.org,

local independent radio, with a good mix,


when I don't listen to them , it is either a Youtube, or Pandora,

don't pay for any of it, other than the phone bill or internet at home/shop

I stuck with pandora since I have several stations set up to listen to what I like,

did not care for spotify, but likely because I did not spend much time trying to learn it,


I have a few other internet radios saved on our old desktop, but haven't used that machine much in years

Spotify paid version. Love it. Way way better than Amazon, even though Amazon is free (included with Prime) to me.

None.

I have more than enough music content at my disposal, and in my control. Over a thousand albums on CDs and vinyl.

My listening habits- I choose exactly what I want to listen to. If I'm interested in new content from a musical artist, I will buy it, I buy 3-6 CDs per month, still.

For casual listening, I have a laptop with FLAC files going thru Foobar 2000/DAC/sound system and will listen to that. I also have a high resolution system for vinyl and CDs for serious listening.

I have zero need for streaming.

I use and love Pandora. It is free and good. I am willing to deal with commercials so I don’t pay for it.

They are not our friends
