Specifically:
* Apple Music: https://www.apple.com/apple-music/
* Google Music: https://music.youtube.com
My favorite: https://tidal.com (who has a policy of labeling AI generated music and blocking it from earning streaming royalties; they also pay more than spotify).
Don't give spotify money. There are so many better alternatives right now.

I am literally begging all of you to stop giving Spotify money. There are so many alternatives. "A music streaming service" is not a hard problem to solve and like 8 companies have solved it. The company that makes your phone OS has solved it (this is true for both major phone OSes).

I use Tidal as well. They have a high quality stream available, and playlists can be moved. I used a 3rd party app. Music can be downloaded to your device or computer for offline use. Tidal pays more to musicians, & keeps AI slop out. (And, yes, I still own CD's, cassettes, stereo equipment, but enjoy the portability of streaming. Remember those in-dash cassette, cd players, mp3 players or the 8 track player under the driver bucket seat?) I have passed the vinyl collection on to my kids.
