So, I'm not a music guy at all, but my wife and son do like music and use spotify, and I've paid for spotify premium. I hear of a lot of alternatives, most comonly tidal.

what would be a good option to switch them to, prefferably something likely to have almost all their existing songs, and is there anything that can transfer their playlists etc... before switching?

A lot of services offer playlist imports now

Yeah looking at it, it looks like tidal does... question I do have is what's overall good for 2 people, who seem to like music a lot, My son probably more indie type things on youtube... my girlfriend probably more I guess generic music, plus techno I think. challenge I have is I probably need to set everything up and get it all ready for them to try out in order to get the switch...

but... I have no taste for music... or really understanding of most of it. So it's hard for me to pre-judge anything because... not really a service I can use or comprehend enough to tell what's actually useful or not.

Qobuz has been working just fine for me since the beginning of this year, hadn't even heard of them before that.

And I've been happily on Tidal for at least 5.

Listenbrainz does a nice wrapped and you can scrobble from most media players
