I’ve had an Apple Music subscription for years and use it A LOT. I tried some alternatives (Tidal, Sirius, and maybe one other?) and wasn’t super happy with the options.

Is there a service that people recommend that is good, like $10/month or less, maybe gives better pay to artists? I’d like to spend on a better company if possible too. If Apple has enough money to buy gold trinkets for elected officials they probably don’t need more from me.

Edit: Thanks for all the responses. Some good ideas for sure. Gonna start with qobuz and band camp. Cheers!

    Bandcamp was really good. It’s still going but it’s kind of a corpse animated by capitalism now. You get drm free music and sometimes musicians will like do listening parties or chat or other fun stuff.

    If you buy one album a month for $10, after a few years you have a sizable library that’s yours to keep forever. Don’t rent music.
