The best way to see which services have the songs you like is to try them out. That's what I did and Spotify was my first choice as I waited for Amazon to release their subscription service. I'm going with Amazon because of the $4 Echo Plan.

Anything without Alexa support is a non-starter for me. So it is between Amazon Music and Spotify (Pandora Plus a distant third). But you are right, I'll probably have to do a trial to get a bettter idea of what is there.
But as I said earlier, Spotify's mobile apps seem more advanced than the Amazon Music app is at this point (Spotify Connect, gapless, crossfade, normalize volume etc), and their playlists are more advanced also. And Prime Music, with its 'millions' of songs, is already paid for as part of my Prime membership.
I'm also wondering how Fire tablets will work with this. My Fire Phone has a separate 'Prime Music' app (in addition to the built in Music app) and it has not gotten the re-branded 'Amazon Music' app to replace it as yet. My Fire HD6 seems to know nothing about Amazon Music subscriptions.
