Anyone have an alternative with the same content, offline play, and integration into Android Auto? I would love to switch if something meets my needs.

I'm downloading Tidal to give it a shot but I would also like to hear other options. Tidal seems promising from a 30 second glance but that doesn't tell me much.

I went with Tidal, not sure about Android Auto tho, what is that?

Android auto is pretty much when you plug your phone into your car stereo and it runs like it's own os from your phone. Google maps, music, etc. It just doesn't run all apps though. Spotify is currently the key to any music playing in my car, so it's important that whatever I use works with it. Apparently tidal does work with it so I might give it a shot. I will lose all my playlists though. 😔

Ohhh I see! That's pretty cool!

Yeah that's rough :/ I had tonnes of playlists that I just kinda sacrificed! You could sit down and remake them tho if it's worth the time investment! 👀

If it's worth anything, Tidal has had great offline support so far. I'm missing a handful of tracks, but the offline support might be enough to move to Tidal. It's either generally better quality, better offline, better shuffling, and a dollar less per month, or a console/tv app and a few more albums.
