Got 80GB of music on my phone, tried Spotify once, it was all live versions....
It is possible to get off Spotify.
What you can't buy legitimately via other means you can use a Youtube-To-MP3 converter to rip and add the file to your music library.
You're saving an already low-quality stream into a lossy format. Just use Soulseek.
Don't have high end audio equipment anyway, I can't tell the difference on 99% of songs.
I somehow cannot wrap my head around soulseek, so I'm just torrenting like I always do 🏴☠️
I thought we were already boycotting this shit
I can't speak for how viable it is for success or whether it's just a grift (as I haven't had the time to really research into it) but feels like as good a time as any to mention that, out in Australia, The Pack Music Cooperative is fundraising for a cooperative music streaming service: https://www.thepackaustralia.com.au/
They haven't raised a lot towards their goal, yet, and could probably use an the help they can get. As a cooperative, they'll side step a lot of the probably problems a corporation like Spotify or Tidal will have and they already are dedicated to prioritizing artists and their rights.
Reading this while listening to vinyl...best enjoyable music experience.
To hell with the enshitification of music streaming.
it will always be and has always been about money
Well tough guy, how else is Raytheon supposed to perfect its AIM-9X Romper Room baby-seeking missile's accuracy?
I’m doing my part!
We all know that scene in Robo Cop 2 is going to happen eventually.
