I’m a big fan of Qobuz. Extensive catalog, hi-res tracks, good suggestions that are genuinely new to me, and doesn’t drown me in Drake/Post Malone new releases.
I enjoyed Deezer for a time, would still be there otherwise. Never saw the appeal of Spotify, used YTM/Google Play for years.

I used to recommend Deezer, mostly for the fact it was the closest to what Google Play used to be in terms of layout and function. But recently they decided to do a downright gross redesign and then actively insulted paying customers that didn’t like it.
So I tried Apple Music (from an iPad I barely ever use), then Tidal, and I’ve tried Tidal and Apple Music, too, and honestly? They’re all doing the same things. Some are in different states of enshitification, but it’s all going the same direction. What Spotify gets away with, all the others eventually attempt. The problem is simply the industry.
I would suggest Tidal, it seems the least far along the path, but it’ll get there too.
I’m genuinely getting ready to start curating my own collection again with Lidarr

Tidal has recently eliminated its most expensive plan and bundled everything it offered into the cheaper tier. So it’s actually the opposite of enshittification. I love it
