Remember when Google Music hadn't been killed yet...?
(lemmy.world)
I'm cleaning out my gmail folders this weekend, and went deep into the archive to 2011, when I got my invite to Google Music.
It's funny, because I just (November) moved all of my music out of cloud and back to local-only. Amazon was the last straw, when I tried to play purchased music, and was forced to listen to it on shuffle with other songs not of my choosing.
Anyway... there was a time when Google (ahem, Youtube) Music was set to be a game-changer. Imagine if enshittification wasn't a thing.
Deezer is also pretty good
Oh that's right forgot about them, should see if their catalogue stacks up well against them
I've only ever had a few tracks that I couldn't find on deezer but they usually couldn't be found anywhere else either. I like quboz a lot too because they are both transparent about music quality (as well as the highest of any streaming service typically.) and they have a store for their music as well, but they have probably the smallest catalog of any of the major streaming service.
I like deezer because of their user stance and the commitment to offering cd quality audio, which is really all I care for anyways. Anything I can think of that would actually benefit from 1-bit, I'll buy it in DSD.
