    @jon-nyc yeah, I can go "free" Spotify - it includes ads, limits the number of "skips" per hour.

    Idagio sounds great - but it's strictly classical, right?

      I rarely use it, and Apple Music has pretty much the same catalog - certainly in the genres that I'm interested in.

      Is there really a difference that is worth $120 a year?

      Put another way, am I willing to pay $120 for something I can't find on Apple music which I'll listen to once or twice?

      Gut says "ditch it."

        I assume I can still access the different tracks in the free version, right? I'm losing convenience features more than anything else (and putting up with ads, of course).

          @George-K It is but it’s so good.

          How often do you listen to non-classical? Maybe use free version of Spotify for that and spend your money on the good stuff

            I just use the free Spotify, and don't find the ads that intrusive.

              With a ton of stuff I listen to, paid Spotify has nearly a full discography, but Apple Music has a few token albums. And, those albums change on you without notice. Apple Music is more like the radio in my experience.

                Idagio is amazing for their breadth. I discover new recordings daily.

                The other day I type in Chopin’s Bm Sonata. I get this page, listing their 193 recordings. But look! Pogorolich just released it this year. Damn good recording too, like the young pogo is back.

                I never would have found that without Idagio, and it happens to me daily.

                    Aboriginal folks don't necessarily go in for the throat singing. But they like a dope house beat about as much as the next guy.
