Between Spotify, Deezer, YouTube Music and Amazon Music, which musical streaming platform should you choose in 2022 ? In this comparison file, each of the characteristics of the services, their price and the quality of their catalog are explored each.

Free or paid, in mp3 or flac quality, the offers are more and more numerous. So much so that it is difficult to navigate. Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer dominate the market, but other services exist and start to get out of the game. To help you find what you better, Here is an overview of musical streaming services.

Spotify: the undisputed leader

Who does not know Spotify ? He is the leader in the musical streaming market. Released in 2008, it now has 50 million users in the premium service, including more than 700,000 in France. Spotify’s strength is its impressive and completely free catalog, provided you accept advertising.

But if you subscribe to the subscription of € 9.99 /month, finished advertising. And you can take advantage of out-of-line listening and it is even possible to mix your own music library with titles present on Spotify by important in the service.

He has now aligned himself with his competitors and offers a family offer at 154.99 euros per month, allowing 6 members of a family to enjoy an unlimited subscription. What make it all the more attractive. To use it, several possibilities: the software to install on your computer, the mobile and tablet application, or the web version. And Spotify is revolutionizing with Spotlight, a podcast 2.0 with images and videos !

Also be aware that for the social side of the application (sharing songs with your friends) Spotify is more and more integrated into your Facebook account – recently a mini player in the mobile application. You also push to share what you listen to on your Twiter, Tumblr or via Skype and Messenger account in just a few clicks. Finally, despite its very complete catalog, some classics are not available.

One of the big advantages of Spotify is that it is available on most devices. You can for example listen to your favorite playlists on your PlayStation 5, on your Xbox Series and you will even have the right to use your smartphone and your tablet as a remote control, provided you be connected to the same WiFi network.

Spotify is full of many features as practical as it. Very easy to use, it should be suitable for most users, even in its free version. We will especially appreciate its many playlists and the possibility of sharing them easily with friends, whether without the app or within Facebook Messenger.

Sound quality

On Spotify, if you have efficient listening equipment, know that audio flows are compressed. With a free offer, you can only listen to your music at a rate of 160 kbits/s, with the subscription Premium at € 9.99/month, you can reach a rate of 320 kbits/s as much as possible.

Playlist Découvertes of the week and other personalized mixes

One of the assets of the service is its personalized playlists Discoveries of the week and Daily Mix. These are built from your listening profile – in other words the songs you like to listen to. They are partly assembled automatically and via human stakeholders, making them high quality playlists that will always make you discover more music !

Price

There are several Spotify offers:

• Free: Listen in random mode to the playlist or the artist of your choice / with advertising / 160 kbits / s
• Student € 4.99 / month: Unlimited listening and same options as in Premium

Apple Music: a full service and an offer for the family

If you are equipped with many devices under iOS, such as iPhone or iPad and especially a homepod, Apple Music may easily establish itself as the ideal choice, as the service is perfectly integrated into the brand ecosystem. You can also control Apple Music thanks to Siri. Before subscribing to Apple Music, Apple even allows you to test the service for 3 months for free.

The icing on the cake: on your iPhone, your iPad or your Apple Watch, this is an application installed by default. Contrary to what some advanced, Apple Music does not revolutionize the market, but the firm has managed to offer a service that brings together everything that others do. Thus, we find for example a kind of Integrated social network with Connect. Users can follow their favorite artists and have access to exclusive content.

Other novelty, Inspired by Netflix: My Music. This function is based on a recommendation system brings together music likely to please the user according to their tastes and the music he listens to regularly. Finally, Apple offers a radio on its musical streaming service called Beats One. She will issue from Los Angeles, New York and London. A kind of free offer of music since there will be no need to be subscribed to enjoy Beats One.

On the other hand, the user will not be able to choose their titles, it is a real radio with animators. The big black point of Apple Music, in addition to the absence of a free offer, is that there is no version for the web: not the slightest interface intended to be opened with a web browser. To use Apple Music on PC or Mac, you will have to go through iTunes. On the side of the defects, we will also note an interface not very intuitive and a little too chaotic.

Apple Music now offers the Sing functionality. The latter complements the words of certain songs, which can be scrolled through the screen. This new mode makes it possible to suffocate, or even remove the voice track for Create a real portable karaoke or in full size if you use it with the 4K Apple TV. Sing is unfortunately only available on the very latest brand devices, and only works under the update of iOS 16.2.

Unlike its habit, Apple unfortunately did not do in simplicity. The offline mode is also there and we are entitled to a catalog of 100 million titles for the moment. Some artists preferred to stay only on iTunes. Over time, the catalog of available music has grown a lot of magnitude, even if some still do resistance to Apple Music.

Sound quality

Apple, which nevertheless wants to be a high -end brand has made no effort in terms of sound quality. The music available on Apple Music are therefore available in MP3 format but in 256 kb/s, It is lower than the standard of 320 kb/s that we observe in competitors. If you have a musical ear, you would do well to opt for another streaming service.

Price

Against all expectations, Apple offers prices that can be more attractive than competitors.

• Voice at € 4.99/month : access to the library of songs, but no offline mode, space audio with Dolby Atmos nor lossless
• Studentat € 4.99/month: For a standard subscription
• Individual at € 9.99/month: Access to a more limited catalog than on the paid version / advertisements / import of the library
• Family at € 14.99/month: unlimited access for 6 family members
