Can anyone recommend the best alternative to Spotify that still has Neil Young? Ideally with a linux client and the ability to control one device from another device's linked client.

I listen to quite a bit of Neil Young and not-so-much Joe Rogan.

I enjoy Apple Music as it works on my Apple Watch without an iPhone. It holds both uploaded music and streaming additions to my library. I previously used Google Play Music which was an MVP its whole life cycle. The switch to Apple Music was rather easy.

On the Beach is one of my favorite Young albums and its on AM.

I'm making the switch to tidal and I'm really enjoying the high quality audio (I have the hardware to match). And it has Neil Young on there. There are some very, very obscure punk rock albums that aren't on there but I was honestly surprised that Spotify even had them so it's not a deal breaker. Their price tiers match Spotify's so for me it was a 'why didn't I do this ages ago' moment. The move wasn't for one specific reason but more a gathering of many small things that finally made me push through the inertia.

Edit to add that the phone app needs some polish. I've got a few really unusual errors and it's not as slick as the Spotify app. It works but I could easily see less technical users just dropping it because of them. But the web player and desktop apps have been great.

Or you could buy your own copy for a $1, throw it on Plex, and eventually pass it down.

I've been playing with YouTube music and got to say it's been a great alternative to Spotify for now. Secretly afraid of Google killing it off though

I can not relate. To me, their ui is frustrating, the reccomendations aren't great, and when in offline mode you cannot search for an album, you must use a playlist or your entire library.

Very much considering spotify or any alternative

I use Amazon music because I like to stream music over my Alexa while showering. Listened to Old Man in the shower this morning.
