Got a favorite music subscription service?..I'm thinking Rhapsody is still the best

I've had Rhapsody for years. Recently, i started looking around to see what else is out there, just for curiosity.

So far I haven't found anything comparable. I don't see the radio services like Pandora as an alternative to the ability to pick and choose.
.
I'm trying Spotify and Beat, which do allow you to puck, but their selection seems not up to Pandora.

In addition to rock, i like things like classical, folk and world music. Rhapsody still seems to have the deepest library.

Curious if anyone has opinions good bad or indifferent of these or other servoces

Also you can create pkaylists of specific songs. It also includes ad free customized radio stations like Pandora.

Rhapsody is like having you own record library.Thats the main advantage.

But MOG is leaving us in April. I will check out rhapsody. Being able to have your hand-picked songs offline is mandatory now that ive had it from MOG. I do have pandora and sirius but sirius' days are numbered. When that expires im not doing it anymore. The online part is a $4 perk if you already are paying for a radio. It is a very well done website as well as an app for mobile. I just dont see the point in paying for internet and sirius both anymore , unless they get siriusly cheaper.
