I always prefer listening to the thing that sounds better to me. I don't care about what the artist wants.

Chances are the artist has no idea what kind of speakers you are using anyway

You’re downvoted, but enjoyment of music is obviously subjective. There is no “wrong” way to listen to music (or anything really).

Exactly. This thread is mindboggling.

Because everyone using Apple music is forced to listen to it. Whether they like the remixes or not.

That just isn’t true.

Yes, you can. I just tested, and it plays the regular stereo track instead.

This isn’t tidal with their MQA scam.
