I've spent a good part of my life downloading my music and using mp3 playing apps. On time I downloaded Spotify to add songs to a shared playlist with friends. I figured I might try the app since I have it installed.

This is the worst music playing app in the world. (I was on free tier) How could anyone see this and think "oh yeah I will pay a subscription to this service". Seriously

Actually purchasing music is insanely expensive. Paying a flat fee to have access to essentially the entire collection of music humans have ever created, instantly, is unparalleled value. But you do you.
