I have Spotify, Tidal and YouTube Music. In my opinion Spotify’s apps and UI are way better. Also the recommendations are much better.
Desktop Tidal feels clunky and YT Music doesn’t have a desktop client at all.
All three mobile apps are just fine.
Many more people use Spotify so you’re probably more likely to find good playlist links for Spotify.
YouTube Music is included with YouTube Premium and Tidal has higher quality audio if you need that.
If you don’t care so much about the UI, recommendation engines etc, you can use any of them really. They have similar libraries and in the end they do the same thing - play music.
(YouTube Music has music.youtube.com which is basically a desktop client.)
Good to know, thanks!
YouTube Music doesn't have an official desktop client, but there is an unofficial client which wraps the website and adds plugins. Really not bad.
Thanks!
