Welcome to our guide to the best music streaming services. 20 years ago, when CDs were medium number one and musicians could still make a living from selling their records, the idea of having almost every song ever recorded at your fingertips on your phone (as well as every movie with the best streaming services) seemed the stuff of science fiction.

Watching the entire run of 36 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, from Iron Man to Thunderbolts, would take over three days, so you’ll need a long weekend to tackle the complete adventures of Stark, Rogers, Romanoff, Banner and superfriends on the Disney+ streaming service. And yet, it would be far from time wasted. While Marvel’s efforts may have dipped in quality of late, it’s still by far the most successful film franchise, grossing a cool $31.1 billion. And recent efforts such as Guardians Vol. 3 and Deadpool & Wolverine are thoroughly enjoyable works. As Marvel’s Phase 5 draws to a close…

Spotify and Apple’s war over unjust commissions on in-app purchases and subscriptions and Apple’s anti-competitive behavior goes back years. The ongoing war finally seems to be coming to an end now, and it’s all thanks to a US judge ruling against Apple.
