For two good songs and a bunch of filler on a disc that cost $1 to make.
Today it's way more fair for the consumer. I love my YouTube Music subscription the whole family shares. I used to buy a cd every payday for 15 years. Now I spend something like $20/month that my family shares, so $5/person for unlimited music. I absolutely love the way things are now.

So, Google is offering a package with Google 1 for 2TB online storage, YouTube Premium, YT Music, all for family, and you get enhanced access to Gemini. All for $24.95 a month. When I am paying $20 for just Spotify, it is a no-brainer to switch. Also, in the YTM settings, you just select your other provider, say transfer it all, and it does it. Pretty awesome, actually.

I used to record my DJ friends. Even set up shoutcast broadcasts back in the late 90's, so I'm very familiar with crappy bitrates!

I did try Tidal for a bit, but found the selection very limited and the curation far inferior to Spotify and/or YTM. I bumped Spotify to lossless and couldn't tell the difference. I don't know if YTM offers lossless yet, but for my purposes, it sounds fine.
All IMO, YMMV.
