Any european music streaming sites to replace spotify and youtube music?
Spotify is based in Sweden. Though, they’re ripping off artists, too.
Good question. I don’t have an answer to that. Maybe someone else has, but I guess there aren’t that many out there with a music catalogue like this. There are several smaller services which show up on Google. But I don’t have any experience with them. And there is Apple, Tidal… But I don’t know what they pay forward to artists.
Qobuz is also French.
I liked it a lot, more than Tidal (what I have now). But the last few months with Qobuz I had streaming issues, because of something on their end. It was a freak issue though. The catalgue was absolutely wonderful especially if you’re into jazz like me. It allowed you to browse record labels too, which I sorely miss.
I switched because of the streaming issues and because tidal has a connect option, which allows me to send music without compression over wifi to my stereo, natively from tidal (spotify has it too, but lower quality sound)
Unfortunately it doesn’t have much music from my country. It’s a shame, because I don’t listen much of English music.
Oobuz is the French alternative.
