When the library provides movies (DVD and BluRay) for free.
I'm good for a couple hours of streaming a day, if not more. I'm into both TIDAL and QOBUZ about $500 a year total. Did drop ClassicsOnlineHD when they scaled down their catalog just NAXOS.
Might go back.
. . . then the $39.95 per year for Classics Online HD might be very worthwhile.
Two questions:
1. Is that the same as Naxos?
2. Do they have most of the basic piano repertoire by top pianists?
Answers to you questions:
1. No - Naxos is broader in repertoire, but lower in sound quality than the equal-or-better-than-CD quality you get with Classics Online HD.
2. I would not say this is true for Classics Online HD. I suppose the question revolves around what you mean by "top pianists".
The reason I'm once again a subscriber to Classics Online HD is that I see is as an interesting supplement to my regular music library. I used to subscribe to Spotify too. Spotify's catalog is much broader, but the SQ is reduced to a bit rate of 320 kbps or lower, depending on whether you subscribe or listen for free. 320 kbps can be surprisingly good, but, personally, I prefer lossless CD-quality or better - another reason I go for Classics Online HD.
Well, I guess I won't be getting Classics Online.
