Great example of exploring our options. 💙🔥
I dumped my Spotify subscription when they began advertising for ICE. I moved to Qobuz and I love it. Highly recommended. I did a lot of research on the music streaming companies and services and Qobuz ranked high on both streaming quality and company ethics.
