Meanwhile, Spotify's planned HiFi (lossless) tier is still MIA and the company can't say when it will be coming. Unlike Spotify, competitors like Apple Music, Amazon Music Unlimited and Tidal are now offering lossless or even Dolby Atmos music at no extra charge. Spotify also offers the best free tier: Without paying a dime or providing a credit card number, you can listen to millions of tunes and even stream Spotify Connect to numerous Wi-Fi devices. This is thanks to a fun, easy-to-use interface, an extensive catalog and the best device compatibility. When it comes to choosing a service, it's a close race between Spotify Premium and Apple Music, but Spotify still wins as the best music streaming service overall.
The service has also ramped up its nonmusic content with a push toward podcasts, which indirectly led to folk-rock icon Neil Young removing his music from the service. It offers a number of curated music discovery services, including its Discover Weekly playlist, and is constantly implementing new ones, such as Stations and an AI DJ. These sites are made for mid-range to large bands who can tap into an online community to drive sales.Spotify is a pioneer in music streaming and is arguably the best-known service. Sites that charge annual fees but let you keep royalties are more profitable if you can sell over 1,000 copies a year. Musicians with a large online backing should keep their royalties.However, this means that they spend more time marketing your band and working with you to maximize sales. Companies like InGroove and The Orchard only a few bands based on their quality and following. Established musicians should contact small, niche aggregators.This allows you to keep your music on iTunes forever, not until you the day you can’t afford an annual fee anymore.
Unless you can sell thousands of copies, you will make more money paying a cut of royalties to a company like CDBaby or MondoTunes. New musicians should avoid annual fees.After you’ve made that decision you can choose between the features each site offers by checking the “FAQ” and “Services” pages on their website. There are a lot of choices, but the biggest decision to make is whether you want to pay annual fees or a percentage of your royalties. Sign up an aggregator that fits your band.
