These so-called cloud services are all much of a muchness (differing only in the amount of utter rubbish they serve up, Spreaker being a case in point). Their main purpose is to tie the user into a recurrent payment, I'm not really interested in spending more money on content which is of little more importance than the latest Hollywood pap dressed up as a blockbuster. What I do want is a reliable replacement for the now defunct Logi devices, which can easily access the coherent LMS system. I don't want to depend on using a smartphone as a battery-hungry controller with multiple apps installed to access one or two basic servces.
