I’ve been meaning to switch streaming platforms from Spotify for some time now, for many reasons. To me, it seems like good alternatives are challenging to find, so I figured I’d solicit some discussion here on Tildes to see how people like other platforms.

My Only Requirement:

Mobile App for iOS with Offline Capability

I Strongly Prefer:

Good Search Functionality

Niche Artist Availability

Alternatives I’m Considering:

Apple Music

Bandcamp

Tidal

Deezer

Qobuz

If anyone has used any of these applications, I’d love a review of the pros and cons. I’m leaning towards Bandcamp right now, but am concerned that I will fail to discover new artists because of the need to pay for albums.
