I left when I saw how much of our money they gave to Joe Rogan to punch down on trans people. Already paying for YouTube pro for years and finally took advantage of their music app. It's been great. My car and every Google screen in the house have native support. The only disadvantage is everything from tinder to open source crap I run at home only integrate with Spotify.

So is there an alternative that’s comparable? I am done with their price increases.

I assume Apple Music?

I got grandfathered into YouTube Music since I was using Google Music when it got shut down. While not as good as Google Music, YT Music works well for me and has been building playlists suited to what I want to listen to. Plus, some lesser known local artists that only have their music on YouTube as video uploads will still show up on YouTube Music. I haven't really tried any other serious streaming platforms, and only YT Music and Spotify natively sync to my car with maps.

Smh I want to get off Spotify for tidal but I don't feel up to teaching my parents how to use a completely different music app

Isn't this also on the Publishers? They get paid first before the artist.

Anyone have an alternative with the same content, offline play, and integration into Android Auto? I would love to switch if something meets my needs.

I'm downloading Tidal to give it a shot but I would also like to hear other options. Tidal seems promising from a 30 second glance but that doesn't tell me much.
