Listening to Qobuz streaming service. The best streaming service. Streams mainly in CD quality or above and has lots of classical and jazz for those who want it.
Though just playing my favourite R.E.M tracks at the moment.

My life isn't perfect at the moment but one thing I'm not short of is money. So I have the Sublime + package.
I suppose I'm a half-hearted audiophile. So I tend to look for hi-res music. Not that I'm convinced I can tell the difference in many cases - but hi-res is often mastered better than standard CD stuff. It tends not to be compressed, as in squashed volume range.

For technical stuff look up 'high definition audio Nyquist'.
Bloody hell. £350/year I suppose their bottom tier package is the same price as Spotify etc. Do they have as wide a library as the well know services then?
At the moment I'm on Amazon Prime music. It's a bit of a cut down service (2 million tracks), but I've not found that much missing that I want to listen to. Certainly not enough to upgrade to their 'Unlimited' music service (£7.99 on top of Prime membership), or pay Spotify or the like £9.99/month.
I do most of my streaming listening on my phone, often plugged into the car stereo's aux in. So not too bothered about audio quality, well certainly not beyond what is provided.
They have nearly everything I want. Not got rights for the Stones yet, but most other pop/rock. Big classical selection, when the other services have token selection. For example they have a dozen versions of Wagner's Tannhauser.
Playing 80 minutes at CD quality uses one gigabyte data. At 24/96 it uses six times more. And 24/192 - well. . . . Bit much for music in the car.

With such artists, it does question why you chose REM.

I'd had Radio 3 on all morning and somehow fancied a blast of summat different.
My musical tastes are varied and I demand thd right to listen to some loud crap at times.
