Slightly off topic but does any one of the music streaming services actually not suck?
Like I tried a bunch of them but each one made me quit in it's own unique way!
Am I alone on this?

- 4ad 2y agoIt would help if you specified exactly what you didn't like about them. I use Apple Music, I use it because it's lossless and it's integrated in the Apple ecosystem. The UX of the actual Music app is... not great, but tolerable, better than the iTunes before it. I listen to some pretty obscure stuff and I don't think I ever found something missing on it. YMMV.
- legohead 2y agoWell I can tell you as a Spotify user that their random play is horrible. It's not truly random, which is extremely frustrating when you have 1000+ playlist and keep hearing the same 10 songs over and over. Here's an ongoing 150+ page, 4 years old thread about it on their forums: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/All-Platforms-Option-to-have-a-true-shuffle/idi-p/4880594#comments https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/All-Platforms-Op...
- WorldMaker 2y agoThe silly trick I found is to use Apple's Smart Playlists to help. I've been creating playlists like "Not heard since Jan 1, 2023". Songs drop out after they are played in a shuffle.
- dogleash 2y agoYou're not alone. Streaming services' selling point is access to the catalogue. Everything else about the product tends towards being aggressively mid.
