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.

Used to use GPM now use Tidal. Wish it was as cheap as old GPM but the quality is excellent.

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.
