  Integration is the big one. Spotify is built into nearly every smart device. Phone? Spotify. Smart speakers? Spotify. Alexa spy puck? Spotify. Cars? Spotify. Even my hifi system has built in spotify.

  I want to use different services. Right now I’m using Tidal, which is only integrated with my speakers and phone - not my car. Hell, they don’t even make a proper app for my computer.

    TIDAL works well with CarPlay.

      I recently switched to TIDAL as a stop gap to ahem other options, and I’m relatively pleased.

      My biggest gripe is it doesn’t let your search your playlists when adding songs on the phone app.

      It’s not the best option, but at least they pay artists a little more.

      Apple definitely punishes you for using Tidal on CarPlay. It’s bullshit. Plug in your phone while listening to music and the app goes into limbo for 45 seconds while Apple Music decides it is in charge.

    Once again, the industrial-consumerist complex has chosen platforms over protocols.

  Library is very close from a service to another

  All of three are also available on Deezer and TIDAL.
