Weekend poll: Do you use a hi-fi music streaming service?
Although it seems like the market has largely settled on a couple of flagship options, there’s no shortage of ways to stream your favorite songs these days. Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music — these are just a handful of the apps you can download from the Play Store right now before diving into curated playlists and new releases. If you really want to get the most out of your music library, though, you’ll need higher-quality audio. You canalways turn to local playback, but if you’d rather stick to streaming, plenty of existing plans deliver precisely that.

Apple Music made a big splash last year afterit announced high-quality songs at no extra charge, though with some wonky device support on its side. It was a move that spurred plenty of action from the competition, as Amazon followed suit by ditching its hi-fi tier in lieu of thestandard “Music Unlimited” planfor no extra fees.
And of course, there’s Tidal, one of the original names in the high-quality streaming game. Despite holding less name recognition than some of the bigger players in this space, it’s kept on trucking. Late last year,Tidal even launched an ad-supported plan to rival Spotify, along with a cheaper high-quality plan that now price matches the rest of the industry. Smaller services likeDeezerandQobuzalso offer high-bitrate streaming, though their prices are higher than the current competition.
With high-quality music services now cheaper than ever, we’re curious if our readers have made the jump. Have you signed up for a lossless or hi-fi streaming service, or are you happy with your standard plan?
