I think this is possibly not accurate although they have certainly left their catalog size vague.

Tens is plural which suggests more than one so unless they are lying they have at least 20 million songs. It's still significantly less than the other services but it's not as bad as just 10 million.

My order:
1) Spotify
2) Pandora, only because I can download songs and listen offline.
3) Google Play

It's not gonna pay for $10 or $16 per month like he's saying. But you can easily build up $20 -30 for a month or two here and there or if you ever need to buy an app or rent a movie

Google play. YouTube red makes it amazing.

I've had each at least 2x
Spotify would be the best, by far, if not for the Connect feature. It's ridiculous and tons of other people have issues, but Spotify won't fix it. It's a dealbreaker for me, so I'm back on Apple.
Google is fine but has the worst layout of the three IMO. Apple runs through iTunes on desktop, which blows, and Google has inferior playlists/curated stuff.

Tidal is the way to go if you are willing to pay for it. I don't think I can do without it at this point.

If you currently have Google play music and they run a special, you just select the special and they let you have it?
Posted on 10/26/17 at 9:14 am to East Coast Band
Google has the biggest library and YouTube Red. That puts it on top for me.
Posted on 10/26/17 at 10:39 am to Maximus
Yes
The Vday special was two years ago
There was a "glitch" where you could stack multiple 6 month subs for $30. I only bought two but some people stacked several years before google said one per user.

yeah that valentines day special comment confused me too.

They haven't ran a special like that since but it's a real story. I'm sure I can find the actual receipt in my account somehow

I believe you. But earlier you said you could basically pay for your subscription using the rewards program but you didn't mention this special played a part into your current situation. Which obviously wouldn't apply to most others.
But im grateful for the heads up. I signed up and have done one survey that got me 10 cents. Hopefully i'll get others. It's no skin off my back answering a couple of questions and earning $5-$10/month.
What i didn't like though is you cant pay partial for your subscription. If you have $5 of credit you cant use it on GPM for one month and have your credit card as the fall back payment for the other $11.

Link to the offer. I really goofed by not buying more than a year
Ya that's kinda annoying
Turn on your location history if it's not already.
I get a lot my surveys that way "Have you visited (restaurant) recently" then they'll ask to rate your experience.
Also they'll ask you trick questions to see if you're being honest. Like they'll make up a fake place and ask if you've been there. They'll cut you if you lie
