Is it time to change your music app?
Call me a Spotify fan all you want, but I’ve been using Spotify Free for the past three years. As soon as I got my debit card, the first thing I ever did was sign up for a Spotify Premium free trial, and not to lie, I loved it till I realized there are other music streaming services too that offer a free trial. Guess what? I signed up for all of them and used them side-by-side for well over a month and that’s exactly what we’ll be talking about today! Disclaimer: It’s going to be a long read. But before we jump in, What makes up for a good streaming service? High-quality audio Good and diverse audio library User-friendly UI Good listening experience and cross-platform support Competitive Pricing Audio Quality On paper, YouTube Music and Apple Music have a bitrate of 256 kbps AAC while Spotify has an audio output of 320 kbps Ogg-Vorbis (AAC and Ogg-Vorbis are called codecs, which are used to compress and transmit data). While it does sound like Spotify has higher audio quality
