I've never used Apple Music. I presume it needs iTunes, which I prefer to not have installed. Also, I've never head of Tital before.

I use Pandora Radio and SoundCloud for streaming music. I used to use included Meizu Music for streaming music on my Android phone, but it seems that it is now geoblocked outside of China.

Tidal is an audio streaming service, it plays in 1411 kbps FLAC.

No, you just need an iCloud account. Apple Music app is available on iOS and Android, where you can be eligible for a 3-month free trial.

I've only used Spotify and Google Play Music Unlimited (4-month trial), so I cannot compare for comparison with Apple Music.

Thanks, but I just Googled it, and it seems you do need iTunes to use in on a PC. It's not a big deal, I can use Pandora for free from any browser.

If you're an audiophile with a decent sound system, then it's worth the service, but for majority who just want to listen to music without the fuss, other services are reasonable and cheaper.

Tidal Hi-Fi is pricier than their Premium tier, at £20 per month.

I haven't checked for PC, because I don't use it daily. I'm surprised no one uses their smartphones more than their desktop towers around here.

Im a Spotify premium user. I tried apple music in their 3month trial. Overall is fine, but I prefer spotify. Control under devices, the fantastic interface on any device, and the big variety of stuff did to do not pay for apple music and come back to Spotify.
I didnt tried the other services listed

Comes down to personal preferance but I'm currently using three. Spotify free, Google Play Music, and Apple Music (Paid). Reason is you get some songs on Spotify and not on Apple music and vise versa. Reason for having paid Apple music is because I got a free year with them for having the Google Pixel XL with my mobile phone company.

I think they are all good. Just depends on what you want I guess. I also like Apple music because it doesn't count towards my data because it's included in my plan.

the UI of Spotify is much better and the app itself is much better. I used apple music it's much slower and sluggish than the Spotify.

You need to try this completely free internet radio app, both ios & Android. No ads in or from the app, just regular commercials on some broadcast radio stations, but many selections are just pure music. Audials is phenomenal. Record while listening, or schedule recordings in the background. Tons of other features. I can't even find a place to donate. This is a rare gem.
