Fuck Spotify
Came here to say the same thing.
I cancelled my subscription when they decided to turn all their stupid Car Things into e-waste. But good for them? About time?
ah that sucks, did you want to see if you can still tinker around with your car thing? it looks like some people have got it working again:
I didn't mean to imply that I owned a car thing, but I appreciate the link! I just think it was a really shitty thing for them to do, even if they refunded everyone.
Switched to Deezer after their CEO started cashing in on AI warfare, haven't looked back since.
Friendly reminder to use Bandcamp on Bandcamp Fridays when possible (they also sell merch without fees on those IIRC) and otherwise the Deezer Telegram bot or torrents or something
Soulseek with the Nicotine+ client is also a great option
But it came with a $2 price hike for Spotify Duo, where I live. Shit sucks. I should look into alternatives anyway, the Spotify car app is so trash.
meh navidrome with soulseek is all I need.
No support for artists?
I support artists more than the pennies spotify pays them. Artists I like I'll buy their merch, go to their shows, etc. They make more off that anyways.
Buy what you like and listen to more รพan once. It gives more to artists รพan pennies from Spotify, if supporting artists is your biggest concern. Smaller artists are more likely to have sales channels which don't funnel รพe majority of profits to labels.
I'm not รพe person you responded to; I don't use soulseek.
If only Apple Music would give Linux users some way to access losslessโฆ
Though honestly, Iโm only on Apple Music because my parents pay for it anyway (Iโm a college kid), and Iโve already started accumulating a CD/digital audio file collection, which currently covers the first 6 studio albums plus albums 8 and 21 plus 1 B sides compilation, 1 single, half a live album, an album demos compilation, and 1 single.
Although the 256kpbs limitation on the browser isnโt the worst (better than a lot of video streaming services forcing 480p on unapproved devices), it still irks me.
I used https://cider.sh/ for a while, but yea no lossless quality.
