Pandora is my favorite for house music to either listen to or ignore. Tidal is my favorite for quality sit down and listen to. Sirus XM is what I use in the cars only. Amazon because I have Prime and it is cheap and Alexa likes it.

I use Tidal and XM. My XM use is for in the car and general "Around the house" listening (in the pool, while cooking, etc). Tidal (or my own CD's ripped) is for critical listening.
I think my wife has Pandora, and she sometimes plays that around the house.

Pandora for home, XM for the car on road trips.

I use Apple Music and Spotify. It’s dumb but I use Apple Music because I can stream from my watch so when I run I don’t carry my phone. I just run with my watch and airpods. Also Apple Music works with my home pod which is in the kitchen.
We also have Spotify family that the wife and I use. I really like how it builds playlist based on your listening habits, and overall I find it a better user experience than Apple Music.
I had Tidal, but it was hard to pay $20 a month and I could not hear that big of a difference. But it was through Apple TV app, so maybe I was not getting full quality music.

No paid service. I stream Radio Paradise and several other community based radio stations.

Pandora was the first streaming service used. Kept it since still utilizing it in the car. Liking its diversity and its random choosing of songs from material mostly liked. For the home, listening to music via Tidal (90%) and ripped cd's delivered through Roon. Loving the exposure of new albums in select genres in lossless quality. Very much appreciating Tidal's discount for veterans ($11.99 instead of $20.00 monthly)  Walt |

I use Tidal at home and on a portable speaker when I travel. As much as I love it at home, I think I enjoy it even more when I am stuck in hotel rooms. That's where I really have time to dig in and explore new music.
In my van I use Sirius. I like the Sirius programming and I'm good with the sound quality since I don't put any money into upgrading my car audio. However, if there were a way to stream Tidal in my vehicle I'd drop Sirius in a hot minute. Anyone know if there is a way to do this?
Finally, my wife loves Spotify. She's not much of an explorer, but loves to have different playlists for various things she's doing, exercise, housework, etc. For those uses she finds Spotify really easy to use and is why she stays with it.

However, if there were a way to stream Tidal in my vehicle I'd drop Sirius in a hot minute. Anyone know if there is a way to do this? I occasionally stream Tidal in my car. I connect my phone BlueTooth to my car. The sound quality is, to me, not as good as XM. I don't know why...could be that Tidal is throttled back a bit coming through Verizon or could me my phone or could be BlueTooth. But, it's not as good. The only reason I do that is if I want to hear a specific album and am tired of XM or AM/FM. Mark |

While I'm playing golf, I'll use TuneIn or I Heart Radio apps.

So easy and convenient. A big collection at home is now most likely on a HDD or SSD or on someone else's network. Crazy 30 short years ago, I would say what is streaming?

Maybe I'm not left out, I use Apple Music for in house wifi streaming and in car bluetooth but I don't pay a subscription. Should I tick Apple Music or not? I do pay for it, it is in IOS and I pay for that as part of each device cost. Cheers Gary |
