Music streaming service to replace itunes


Recommended Posts


SiriusXM is what I used most, but it's radio stations, not streaming select music.

Tidal I would say is the best sounding, Deezer has more music AFAIK, but look at what Napster has available as well.

Spotify is popular for it's wide content, but the integration to me is just 'not it'

+1 for Amazon (Music HD) for the content, quality and price. For the time being I am also still using (and enjoying) Tidal, Qobuz, and Pandora to name a few.  With the Add Music driver/feature Control4 has made it easy to try out various native services that could meet your needs so you can't go wrong.

Tidal seems interesting but not worth 20$ a month for the use I make of it.

I would love Amazon Music as Im all in with alexa in my house. I have acces to their streaming device on all my echo dots so Im wondering is theres a way to get that to feed into my control4 amp. I did some research and saw some other threads talking about it but maybe something new has come up. Perhaps with an echo input ? Is there a way to use vocal commands with the epic systems driver to play music. from the echo input that would be tied into the c4 amp ? I would like to be able to trigger this from any echo dot I speak to...

Thanks

AFAIK there is now native integration (probably for 6 months or so). Not something I use, so I have not followed this, but there is a recent thread on this on the forums (as I think it now also supports hi-fidelity playback).

I would second many of the comments above that Tidal and Deezer integrate really well--the in-app experience and programming possibilities are hard to beat in C4.

My biggest hang-up with Amazon Music on C4 is that you can't really do any keypad button programming with it. I use this a lot in my house so it's essentially a deal-breaker. The Amazon HD service is excellent (doing the free trial right now) and if you're OK just using the app in C4, it's still a strong option.

Pandora gets a lot of love in this house. We have the advert free paid plan.

 

Also have Napster, trialed Tidal but compared to stream in max res on Napster could not justify twice the price. Both Tidal and Napster are getting better at capturing multiple streams adding to the cost of ownership. Happy with my $200 a year spend on music. Less than I used to spend monthly on CD s
