Hey Raj! I hope you are still enjoying your amazing set-up. I am glad someone else is noticing it too. That just lets me know I'm not losing my mind as badly as I thought.

I managed to get YouTube Music to play on the Air Force and Freedom using bubbleupnp. I can also Chromecast it and of course play it on the Firestick. YouTube Music gives you lyrics and videos and I don't know what else. It's also a better experience on the Air than Spotify Connect which is really flaky. Bye bye Spotify!
Edit: YouTube Music also has EQ.

I still continue to be very satisfied with YouTube Music. With the premium subscription, I also get YouTube with no ads, off-line watching and a few other things. I'm watching YouTube more and more and it's all educational. I don't miss Spotify at all. One of my buddies just cancelled Spotify and switched to YouTube. Next up, I'm going to punt Netflix because I continue to not only be disappointed with the sparsely good content but also the lack of properly reproduced audio.

Same. Dropped Tidal. Not worth it. Still have Spotify and YouTube Music / Premium. Gonna hang onto Spotify awhile longer. I’m going to try Amazon music too as I have Prime anyway. Then maybe stop Spotify. We ll see. I’m kinda curious to see if and when Spotify Higher quality comes in.

Oh yeah? I bet it sounds super vintage out of that Philco Predicta TV of yours!

So glad I ditched Spotify. Now I can enjoy 1000 versions of the same song and most with video. Like this gem: https://youtu.be/7g2IlaDLVLo

So let's see, based on this thread, Tidal isn't worth it, Spotify Premium doesn't cut it, there are limited evaluations and unknown reasons as to why or even if Youtube all of a sudden sounds better and Amazon Prime seems to be relatively untested.
None of this gives any confidence to a person seeking a high quality streaming digital music platform with really useful user features (let's agree that Spotify came close and perhaps if they fix their 'high res' streaming to real high res then they would have the best solution).

Still going good enjoying Spotify Premium. Just upgraded to family plan for everybody.
I’ve tried and used:
Apple Music
Deezer
YouTube Music Premium
Amazon music
Spotify Premium
Tidal Hifi
By natural selection I’ve kept Spotify and YouTube. And I am happy with both of those. I’d say Spotify is my go to and then YouTube for downloads for travelling as the files are generally smaller. Not sure if that really matters or not but it works well and I enjoy the videos that come with some songs and enjoy that while flying. Listening and video at same time.
I will stick with what I’ve got until a need to switch comes up. I personally find the Spotify music is of better quality and the searching and lists are really good.
