I currently have Spotify Premium and have used it fir the last 2 years. It’s really great. Tons of music , easy interface and in my opinion very intuitive.
I’m one month into a Tidal subscription as well. Just wanted to try it out to compare. I got the top of the line one to access the “ Masters “ recordings. I gotta say I can’t really tell the difference between 24 bit or 16 bit.
I really think the most important part is how well the reciting is done.
The Tidal interface is similar to Spotify but not quite as intuitive. The Tidal off line / downloaded feature works a lot better though. The Spotify app fails all the time when playing off line. I’ve been travelling A TON ( domestically ) and headphones snd downloads are my escape these days. Really sucks to have your tunes fail to hen you need them the most.
I’d say for a new “ streaming “ customer , go for Spotify. Most bang the buck. And TONs of podcasts too.
