WHO HAS THE BEST MUSIC STREAMING SERVICE?

- Written by DAVID RICHARDS

Sonos would like you to think that they deliver a superior range of music streaming services, they don’t with all the streaming services now battling it out with their streaming services even available on the cheapest of devices.

Telstra used streaming content from Apple to spruik their services during the second State Of Origin match.

Currently Spotify and Apple Music account for nearly two-thirds of the music industry’s revenue however Amazon and Google now want a share of this business and they are currently reengineer­ing their services.

The battle ground is the $10 a month for unlimited access to tens of millions of tracks with some services set to launch High Res audio content for $13.99 a month.

The big four are Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Google’s new YouTube Music. All four offer huge libraries of songs and are accessible almost everywhere and all the services are similar.

Recently the Wall Street Journal presented their view of each service.

While the ability to send audio both ways is important, ARC was primarily introduced as part of improving HDMI CEC.
