As part of my ongoing reevaluation of everything I use, I spent a lot of time this past week looking, again, at music streaming services. We currently subscribe to two, Spotify, because my kids use it, and Google Play Music, because I prefer it and use it myself. Obviously, I would like to save some money every month. And while it seems I could do so if I was able to pare that down to just Spotify—the kids, after all, aren’t interested in switching—it’s not that simple.

The Google bit is complicated.
