    So they’re using our data and also getting paid for it 😄 I want to ditch it but can’t find an alternative that simple and with wide library.

      Yeah? Isn’t that the point of paying for a music service? I pay, they give me access to music and curate it in a way that would be enjoyable to me. How could they do that without some information about me? This is a prime example of what a company should use your data for.

      This logic is really sending me, man.

      I’ve been using Apple Music for a couple years now and I’m pretty satisfied with it. I moved because Spotify pays artists atrociously and Apple is at least a little better. There hasn’t been much I haven’t been able to find, since there are a lot of services out there that will handle the release of music to multiple platforms easily.

        I went from flac hoarding to Apple Music because they have lossless by default, and I love it. I still hoard flacs, but now when I’m not at home I have most all of the songs I love, lossless.

      I’ve had a Spotify sub for 10+ years. I’m getting really close to ditching it because imo the app design is getting worse as prices increase… I was super disappointed in the car thing too. Spotube is a really nice alternative that’s foss. Checkout https://spotube.netlify.app/.

        Yesss, it’s UX was the main selling point it had over competitors and why I also kept with it. It has slowly started going down hill with all these library and playlist changes they have seemingly made for no reason at all, while they keep ignoring user requested features. Will check out this spotube.

      YouTube with an ad block/an api. It has every song and album on it, you can make playlists and there’s a million playlists already on it.

      InnerTune is what finally got me to ditch Spotify. It’s free, no account required, uses YouTube Music (so imo, a wider range of content) AND shuffle is genuinely random.
