I really liked Spotify, but when they started subsidizing hate speech I left. For the last year, I keep trying different platforms and cannot find anything that works well. I am ok with spending money for no ads. I have very diverse music tastes so want to have different "stations" based on my mood. Any suggestions?

Have you tried Apple Music Yet?

Apple also pays one of the highest rates to artists compared to other services.

I hate I phones and most things Apple. Maybe I am being stubborn? Is it worth looking into, even on an android?

It works pretty well on Android. They have a lot of curated “categories” which are like a mix of Spotify’s curated playlists combined with Pandora radio, which is pretty cool. Also, lossless audio is included at no extra cost, which is great if you have a DAC and nice headphones on your Mac/PC

I use AppleMusic and love it….but I’m super invested in the Apple ecosystem. It’s part of a monthly subscription bundle that includes Arcade, AppleTV and cloud space so….perfect for me. Can’t see it making much sense for android users.

I have used apple music on my android for years it works fine. But nothing compares to spotify reccomendations.. If my apple music wasnt free Id be back to spotify in a heartbeat. So easy to find new good music there

I use Apple Music on Android/Windows, would recommend

It’s actually pretty good , i think it’s the only apple service that has good integration outside of apple devices. It works with android, windows and even has a web app. You can of course try it out for I believe 3 months for free.
