Media player / streaming service

[Chewychunga]

I was wondering if anyone has recommendation for a good media player / streaming service
I'm currently using Spotify free as I just ordered my first set of good headphones (old ones can't tell difference)
My new setup will be lyr 3 multi bit and aeon flow closed
If there's any program that could ID tracks / songs that would be amazing (have about 200gb of unknown music)

Roon but it's big $$. I use JRiver and Pandora +.

Is pandora now available in Canada? It wasn't for longest time

My vote goes for Jriver for the media player. Download the free trial and see if you like it. Completly customizable, just need to read the wiki and forums for how tos.

For streaming i use tidal hifi wjich is loseless but spotify has some features i like also even though its premium is only 320kbps.

Jriver tidal Spotify I'll look into them
What is the bit rate I'm looking for? Higher is prob better
What about a program to ID old tracks I already have?

Ok so jriver is a good media player
Does anyone use deezer? I'm a rock guy so I was wondering the selection
No one does above the flac streaming I guess?

No one but Tidal does above flac streaming and tidal uses mqa for its masters.

Jriver will identify all your media files.

Cool I’ll be getting jriver tonight prob (unless I format new pc cause of a few bugs)
And what about deezer is it any good?
Deezer tidal qoural all seem to have flac for same price
Any experience with the library’s? Or programs?
