As apparently, this move is made to target audiobook listeners and podcast listeners, can I recommend https://audiobookshelf.org

I hate Apple, but after Spotify paid Joe Rogan an absolutely crapton of money for his crappy podcast (which wasn’t worth that much honestly), despite not paying artists well, I swapped.
Most other services have High quality music options or otherwise too, and they’re only being it now? If you pay more money?
They don’t deserve your money. They give very little to you people you listen to
Spotify also has the worst UI of any music service
I actually thought it was fairly standard.
But it does repeat music constantly without new songs too .
And Spotify connect is a bit of a suck fest since you need airplay or Sonos to use it on many speakers really (or matrix)
Meanwhile, TIDAL lowered prices and pays artists way more.
How’s their selection for smaller artists? Like breakcore artists?
Give me some artists and I’ll look em up for you.
I’m using TIDAL HI-FI on Linux and it’s really swell.
For $2 I was able to get a month trial of the
Tidal HiFi Plusplan.Have to give my midlife crisis/birthday present seinheisers something to work for.
Spotify being as cheap as it is, has always been a temporary tactic to destroy competition, not an indicator of how cheap Spotify will be once competition was utterly destroyed.
Prices will keep going up and up, but the normalization of artist’s labor being worthless will remain unchanged and the only artists that get a share of Spotify’s increasing profits will be artists that make specific deals with Spotify.
The music industry has been utterly destroyed, this is the fail state, the worst case scenario, especially given the fact that Bandcamp is functionally dead as a force for musicians after it was bought by Epic.
Spotify can’t destroy their competition. Their competitors are among the richest companies in the world. If anything, Spotify will be destroyed or acquired, not the other way around.
What’s that? “Weigh anchors and hoist the colors”?
FYI YouTube premium includes YouTube music. Pretty cool to start a music video or live set video then switch to music only and put my phone in my pocket and keep listening, then turn back in the video portion at a certain song. I know lemmy hates YouTube but whatevs
I’ve used an service that was like $5 for 1 month to migrate music between streaming services before canceling. Believe it was called soundiiz. Got songs and playlists from pandora, prime music, SoundCloud, etc all over to Spotify. Now might do again away from Spotify.
Edit: had to look up here’s link https://soundiiz.com/
Gosh dang it! I just switched to Spotify to get away from Amazon.
Revanced.
I didn’t think anyone used Spotify for anything besides listening to Joe Rogan these days which was enough to get me to leave them forever lol
What do you use?
I use Prime Music for most stuff now which I’m sure some people will make a face about but it works really well for what I need. The only issue I’ve ever had with it is some albums disappear as rights to it change
