Nice. Spotify sucks ass. I just use Tidal nowadays but there are other, better alternatives.
I've been looking into migrating to Tidal, what other better alternatives are out there?
The only reason I stuck with Spotify for so long is because I don't really pay for it (long story short, a family member gets a free family plan through her job)
I’ve started using Qobuz which is not USA owned and has not sponsored Trump (like Spotify which granted is not USA). It has been ok!
Been alternating between Deezer and Qobuz and it’s hard picking between the two. Deezer has basically the same library as Spotify while Qobuz is missing notable classics like Cornelius and etc. But Qobuz UI and sound quality is so much better.
Been using Tidal for a while myself, tbh its not great. Music quality and selection are fine, the UI is just... not there. Really basic music player things like setting things to shuffle or loop by default or on an individual playlist basis just don't exist, its solely a global on/off setting.
Same here. You literally can't keep the 'loop' function on in the mobile app; you have to turn it on every time. I have to believe most people want to loop their playlists by default. Just dumb.
Similarly, while i do want to shuffle most of my playlists, there are albums (mostly pink floyd) i do not want to shuffle
I moved from Spotify to Tidal and am very happy with it. Much better sound quality, good recommendation algorithms, bigger catalogue, pay artists much better. I like it.
Plus they don't offer shitty content like right wing or adult podcasts or lets-play videos so I can let my kids use it without having to monitor it so much.
what other better alternatives are out there?
