They have a bigger catalog? I kinda assumed that Spotify had the biggest catalog by far because they're the most popular one.
YouTube Music has the biggest music catalogue since you can mix and match official and unofficial releases in your playlists.
Some people think this is a desireable feature
I personally hate having 96kbps "live" recordings from someone's cell phone suddenly injectef into my stream. But i havent used youtube music since shortly after they became youtube music
RIP google play music
Well ideally nothing gets injected and you control your playlists yourself so you can choose high quality releases
Indeed, rip GPM
The only way I can conceive this is useful is for OSTs and such.
It also depends. I am listening to a very specific niche that will post on spotify but not youtube (Freeform trance) The biggest catalog for that style is Soundcloud go. But definetly not tidal
True. Either wah I personally download all my music in flac/mp3s so I can have exactly what I want regardless of which service its on or not.
