crazy how Spotify is putting the price of premium up yet again (11.99 now) when they are the only major music streaming service other than YouTube to not provide any sort of high resolution audio option, no Dolby Atmos, no spacial audio, and they are one of the worst in terms of what they pay artists. meanwhile they add stuff like video courses that no one wants and you have to pay for individually per course on top of premium as some sort of knock-off skillshare

I use yt music premium because I basically get two premium things in one, its probably not as good or as fleshed out as spotify though, but it works well for me
you do you! I don't have anything against yt music, I just can't justify the price of YouTube premium imo and I prefer having a desktop app rather than just the web app that yt music has
when I mean hi res audio I mean lossless, which is the quality you buy when you buy a cd, usually it's a flac file as it doesn't remove detail compared to MP3. spotifys very high setting is just a higher bitrate MP3, which is still lossy
there’s been articles for years saying they’d add lossless, they initially announced the feature back in like 2021 and have said nothing since. plus from all the reports over the years it seems they will want you to pay more money to get the lossless audio whereas apple, amazon, or tidal offer it as part of the 10.99 price. like if spotify adds it at no cost then great, but it seems like that won’t be the case
another reason is the free tier, for as many premium users Spotify has, they have way more who are on the free tier
