For low quality audio it's fine, though there's a lot of music I like missing that spotify has. Quality wise it's all over the place and at best as good as spotify.

Generally I don't care much about the UI of any of the services offered and being browser based doesn't really make it any better for me. I can do that with spotify and most other services as well. What I would like to have is a simple paid service with high quality flacs that has an open enough API that i can use many of the great open source tools available and download music for offline use on my phone (data caps and all) without jumping through a lot of hoops. It's not music management is an unsolved problem and for local music i have tons of great options on all my devices from TUI applications to applications with great desktop integration to great open source phone apps. With Spotify there are at least some projects that work somewhat but not really well and certainly nothing that i can easily integrate into my desktop or phone without relying on proprietary clients.

But honestly before I go around trying endless services to get a decent experience I'd rather just take the red music tracker test [1] and build a local collection that "just works" and be done with it.
