Sync Discovery Alternatives

Discover new music, podcasts and listen to your favorite artists, albums, or create a playlist with the latest songs to suit your mood.

Spotify just works. It has all the music (minus long DJ sets – gotta go to YouTube or SoundCloud for that) and is fine-tuned to understand my music tastes. I never miss my Discovery Weekly (on Mondays) and Release Radar (on Fridays).

Tidal is a subscription-based music, podcast and video streaming service that combines lossless audio and high-definition music videos with exclusive content and special features on music. Tidal was launched in 2014 by Norwegian public company Aspiro, currently owned by Jay-Z.

I personally love Tidal and I have tried every other app. They even offer dolby atmos sound on tidal!

The Cymbal Chrome Extension transforms any Spotify, Apple Music, or Deezer player into Cymbal's Universal Player, which always shows you any song or album on the streaming service you subscribe to. In this way, you never have to encounter a song you can't listen to via your subscription, add to playlists, or use to drive monetized plays to artists.

The goal is to make the whole internet listenable, no matter what streaming service you use! Streaming services should be like cellular providers – nobody should be able to stop you from calling a T-Mobile user from a Verizon phone, but right now you can't send a song from a Deezer user to an Apple Music user. That sucks! The future has to be listenable, and this player is pointing in the direction of how to get there.
