Spotify is the first name in music streaming, but from an increasingly jam-packed app interface to concerns about artist payout and leadership conduct, it’s not hard to come up with reasons a music fan might want to consider alternatives. It’s a crowded field, filled with heavy-hitting alternatives like YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer, and more. In a recent poll, we asked which of a few other options you prefer — and there’s a clear winner.
Given the choice between Bandcamp, Deezer, SoundCloud, Tidal, and YouTube Music, Google’s music app came out ahead by a wide margin. Nearly half of survey respondents preferred YouTube Music — taking out the “other” option, YouTube Music got more votes than all the other options in our survey combined.
