Spotify has a huge catalog and is easy to use, so I won’t have to struggle to find what I’m looking for. On top of all that, every Spotify play gives the artist a little bit of money (emphasis on little).
Unfortunately, you’ll need a Spotify account to listen, but even the free ones are pretty great.
