So that's a big fuck no for me, gonna need to replace it in the morning. Someone mentioned Tidal on the article, anyone have experience to give it or others a recommendation?
Identical "it's a library, not a radio" style if possible but not run by fools would be ideal. Thanks.
-
I switched to Tidal. It's missing a few features, but the music library is basically the same (the only songs that didn't transfer over from my Spotify library were very obscure anime soundtrack stuff) and the audio quality is superb.
-
I use YouTube music but I've also tried and liked https://www.qobuz.com/
They're based in France but they supposedly have higher quality than tidal. And they have free trials
Edit: kept YT music because of the no ads on YouTube.
-
YouTube has ads? 😅

I really like Tidal, feels similar to Spotify at a similar or lower cost, surprisingly wide music selection, decent music discovery and suggestions, offline download and hifi audio, etc.
-
I’m on Apple Music now but I much preferred Deezer to Tidal.
-
I switched to Tidal two years ago and I'm happy with it. As some have said, it's missing a few features but nothing critical to me at least and it being cheaper is worth most of the missing stuff I didn't use. >95% of the tracks off my 800+ running playlist of liked tracks that I manually ported over from Spotify were available on Tidal.

I switched to apple music over the weekend and I'm very happy with it. I listen to a lot of music with friends so I specifically wanted a service that had the ability to let other people add to your music queue and apple has that. Apple has a built in library transfer so the switch was easy and you'll save money if you have a family plan or and/or also subscribe to apple tv.

Jango is good but its more of a Pandora replacement
-
I swapped over to qobuz a few months ago and im happy with it.

I cancelled my spotify yesterday. Left a note in the reasons box that spotify can get fucked for supporting those terroristic ICE cunts. Never going back.
-
Sounds like a stupid business model. They should keep doing it and see how that works for them.
P.S. You don't need Spotify. I'm a huge audiophile and I've never touched that shit.
-
if you must have a streaming service YT permium is a better deal anyway. you get both ad free youtube and ad free music, plus any ringfenced features.
That said, the algorithm on YT music isn't as good, but overall still a better deal than spotify
-
But I have ad free YT, it’s called an adblocker.
And Google literally helps power genocide in Palestine. If you’re going to withhold your money for ethical concerns, Google are not the alternative they are even worse.

Just buy music, for instance flacs on: https://www.qobuz.com/shop
Then use a local player. Might I recommend: https://github.com/ravachol/kew

Not comparable to Spotify, but worth checking out nevertheless:
-
Quick circle back - SomaFM rules. I’ve been checking out all the stations and they’re just all so nice to put on and chill to. Huge thanks for the rec, I’ve been sharing this with all my friends.
-
Thanks for saying so! I'm glad to have introduced someone, and I hope SomaFM keeps running for a long time to come.
-
-
This has been my go-to for twenty years now. They have so many great stations and their holiday stuff is really cool.
-
Here to second SomaFM, listened to this pretty much constantly in the early 2000s before everything else suggested here existed
-
Don’t know how I’ve completely missed this for all these years but I’m checking it out on my drive in tomorrow. Thanks for the share!

Used this as motivation to switch over to tidal this morning - it’s pretty easy, and cheaper per month. And the transfer service I used had something like 99% hit rate. Not too bad for dropping a sub I’ve had for 14 years.
-
I'm glad I never gave up my home hosted solution. For years, it looked like a dying path. Then I found Navidrome which is doing some great work building off the original Subsonic and the amazing android app Symfonium.

Well fuck you Spotify. Just closed my account.
it shouldve been a sign when they decided to platform joe roegan.
Yep, that was when I dropped my subscription back then.
tbf, iirc he wasn't nearly as right wing (at least publicly) when that deal initially happened. BLM protests and COVID is when he went full conservative if my memory serves me right.
