The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms.

“Loved” and “included with Prime” aren’t necessarily the same.

Paying for Amazon Music and using Amazon Music are two different things.

Meanwhile, Deezer is completely unknown. No one in the comments even mentioned it. RIP.

I'm a huge fan of Tidal. Musicians actually get paid more, probably because they're not wasting money on exclusive podcasts.

What percentage of us love pirating music and putting it on Plex?

Been happy buying music from Bandcamp and not having a subscription. Didn't even make it onto the chart :(

Where's "directory full of FLACs bought from Bandcamp and ripped from CDs"?

"Confused Jellyfin / Subsonic noises"

Spotify fucks over artists, stop using it.

People love Amazon music? It fucking sucks.

Where ever you listen to your music, in most cases you can hook it up with ListenBrainz, to save your listening data on a FOSS alternative for Last.fm. And to get all sorts of beneficial features, like for instance recommendations that are truly independent, and getting updates on new releases.

I got YouTube music and YouTube premium because I needed more Google drive storage.

Loved isn't the word I would use.

It's adequate for day to day background noise that isn't ad-filled garbage and music I hate.

I am surprised that people know what amazon music is.

I didn't until this moment. lol

I'm pretty sure if you're paying for it, that's not love.

Would've liked to see what percentage have none.

I'm still buying CDs to rip and having my music library as MP3s on my phone. No internet connection required, I have total control of the files, and a physical backup if needed.

Meanwhile I'm over here with my MiniDiscs.

Soundcloud + Bandcamp and a 3rd party client like Newpipe is the only valid option for me.

Downloading music and playing it offline is better than streaming low quality audio on a subscription.

Honest question, why should I be paying for a music streaming app when I already have YouTube premium? Also, does no one use Pandora anymore? I still use it occasionally.

I'm in the 23% on the American side of the chart that uses Pandora. I don't see any reason to switch. I've been working on it knowing my preferences for like 20 years now.

No love for Deezer? It's a streaming service that doesn't shove algorithms down your throat...

Qobuz is good: reasonably priced, you get the best quality audio (actual high resolution, not the MQA nonsense Tides was doing), a good catalogue and a decent UI, and it pays the artists a bit more than Spotify and others, and they offer a free migration tool. Plus they have actual full credits and even CD booklets and notes for the albums. And they do their own artist descriptions and reviews. It really feels like they're making an effort to be good, not just throwing some record company catalogues online and waiting for the money to roll in.

Spotify is still a bit better for recommendations and automatic playlists.

I bought a few mp3s off amazon (but it wasn't amazon music, i think) and they had no DRM, just a unique ID3 tag. If it's still like that, I can recommend it.

Lol imagine being beholden to constant internet or having to pay for your music...

i am suprised UK has relevance. or is this because of gdpr? uk & us seem to give a shit about privacy so statista can get data on the users in those countries without consent?
