60% of music streamers have frustrations with their service. Can niche providers offer what the mainstream is missing?

polled a sample of nearly 1300 adults in the US on topics including cost, overall experience, artist compensation and general familiarity with classical music.

The survey also polled on an issue that probably isn’t top-of-mind for most general listeners, but matters a lot to performers, which is compensation.

Yep, my Geatful Dead pandora plays lots... lots of old country music.

Mmkulang I don't know what music streamers they're talking about, Spotify is just perfect!

Actually YouTube Music is a very good app, mix tapes etc. Think it's a forgotten app but included in YouTube Premium.

I don't see any problems with Spotify music streaming, I love it.
