Where we live they phased out Duo and force&switched us to Family even though we're only two. That was a year ago or so
They run ads in the podcasts that are exclusive to Spotify. There is no such thing as ad free Spotify.
Could someone please explain this post?
not only do you pay them to shove more adverts at you, they're giving a substantial chunk to chuds like rogan all the while stiffing the artists their service is built on.
nice fucking job.
I just got a "swipe right or left" ad for duo
thanks, spotify, for occasionally reminding me I'm single
Just a reminder that Tidal is amazing, has higher quality audio, a real shuffle, daily playlists, doesn't shove podcasts in your face, pays artists more, and provides ways to import your playlists over 🩷 I also listen to some pretty obscure music and haven't had issues not finding songs.
Looked at that and think it will be an option in the near future, but right now Raspotify and Connect are hard to beat.
Edit: Searching a bit more, it looks like Tidal Connect is actually a thing. I'll take a good look at switching when my Spotify plan runs out. I'll be happy to switch to a service that doesn't screw their artists.
That repo is an amazing example of something so well documented as to how it works they completely neglected to have even a paragraph explaining what it really does and why I would want to use it.
As far as I can tell it’s a Spotify connect client which runs as a daemon so you probably need to control it remotely? Kinda like how AirPlay works on apple devices? Is that right?

Deleted spotify, now use Soundcloud and Tidal. Reminder soundcloud has by far the most music on it.

Last I'd used Tidal it was still glitchy, missing artists I fancy, with incorrect dates and covers for a number of other artists I like. I'm still on Spotify for now, but with ad-free clients on both my phone and laptop. Is Tidal any better than it was 4 years ago?
It's been super solid for me! They are constantly improving categorization, and they are always on top of reported issues. I absolutely love that they provide patch notes with every update!

That isn't an advert, it is a "promotion", gotcha!
I guess they don't count their own ads
"Hello, spotify? I'd like to cancel.......well because you don't know what words mean."
Don't worry, if you switch to Duo the messages don't stop. They just change to "Upgrade now to a Family Plan!"

Fucking excuse me? Wtf is happening now?
"So everyone in the couple can enjoy..."
But there's only two people, you said it's a couple???
Does this read weird to anyone else?
They're trying (and failing) to be cute. Like saying "all two of us". "everyone in the couple", because it's called Duo. Personally, if I had Spotify, this ad would be the last straw to make me cancel.
You know- mStream, Plex, Jellyfin, Lyrion, Yunohost and Navidrome are all free ;)

Use Spotube, a Spotify client that's available via F-Droid or it's official site
That's all. Enjoy free Spotify premium-like user experience. You can also log in with your already existing Spotify acc for convenience
Nice. Any chance my existing spotify accound could get banned or something? I want some QOL changes but am afraid of losing ~400 playlists..

I am so glad I swapped to downloading my music rather than streaming. Fuck Spotify and every other streaming service. Owning my music is more important to me than any level of "convenience" those services pretend to offer
Plus you can make it just as convenient by self-hosting your own streaming service from home!
Oh do you have any recommendations on how to do that? I've just been using Syncthing which works fine, but I'm curious if you have better ways of doing it

If you are able to give support to artists you listen to, try to find ways to give money to them directly without any corporation leeching most of the money.
paying for music has to be made cringy again
I used to pay for Spotify. One day, got an email saying "uwu, we're raising our prices again. Sowwyy 🥺👉👈". The same day I switched to YT after exporting my playlists. I cracked the YouTube Music app with Revanced. Corps will never get anything out of me again.
Would have left Spotify a couple years ago if I could find an app with something like Spotify Connect.

Every other day.
I just use Spotifydown and collate my own downloaded lists on USBs.
I download straight from Tidal. Tben use a navidrome server to stream my music anywhere I go with my own library.
Spotube and yt-dlp for me while directly supporting the artist through merch, physical media, or bandcamp.
