Bumping up this really old thread to pick one as my source for music.
Could some one give a review of the 'HD Quality' (whatever it may actually be, 320kbps?) content and how does it compare to paid quality of other providers such as Saavn, iTunes, etc?
It is nice to see the puzzle fitting in with these providers and also now that we have 4G connectivity/High speed broadband almost in every major town:clapping:. So anyone tried all of them and decided on one?

Spotify Premium is the best.
Jio Music is the 2nd, even their free tier has higher bitrate (methinks) and sounds very good.
I'd rate Wynk 3rd in terms of SQ, and above the other Indian streaming services like Saavn, Gaana, etc.
iHeart Premium is up there too in terms of SQ and also a great source for the classics. Pandora free tier is also good.
Slacker Radio also has good quality.
Radio Paradise is a bit flaky, some sound great, and them some very low bitrate.
TuneIn has some really bad SQ, sound like 96kbps for many of the stations I've tried, Ilaiyaraaja is unplayable on their stations, extremely bright and low bitrate, will cause fatigue very quickly.
I'm not much up to date with FM, but they sounded good even when driving. Now it's all internet streaming for me.
WorldSpace was the best of the lot, but sadly no more.
PS: If you can go for the Premium Spotify, then it's the best.
I'm yet to try Google Music and iTunes, but not much invested in their ecosystem so will wait a while.
