I am starting to dislike YouTube Music for cramming in music I don’t like no matter how many times I use the thumbs down. I have already tried Spotify and Apple Music and didn’t like either. I do buy records from Bandcamp but a streaming service is necessary as well. Should I try Deezer? Pandora not available here. Or even Amazon Music?

    Could you expand on why you didn’t like Spotify?

    It’s really popular with my friends and family. So I’m curious what’s missing to make it a winner for you?

      A. I will not support anything to do with Joe Rogan, or the way they destroyed some of the best podcasts out there.

      B. I like classical music, and Spotify liked to put a little Britney Spears in the mix when I’d be listening to opera.

      C. I don’t like the interface. Google Play Music was impossibly perfect and everything else is a downgrade.

        Great thanks for that.

        I can’t think of an exact solution but are you open to creating your own playlists and using your phone like a mp3 player?

        Newgrounds has a lot of indie music to explore and freely download.

        Soundcloud might also be suitable?
