I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a "sponsored recommendation".
Why am I seeing ads if I'm already paying for the premium plan!? π
I haven't subscribed to Spotify for quite some time, have they added proper 2FA feature (not for artists)? I think it's been "under consideration" for a long time
Tidal is a good alternative. Will have to go elsewhere for podcasts, though.
Not to be confused with Tim Janus, world championship burping title holder. I believe he also holds record for longest recorded burp at 18sec.
Shit like this is why monopolies and oliglopolies don't work. I hope people complain AND jump ship in big enough droves for this to change. Self-hosting and the old fashioned "buy your own music permanently" option are good too.
I don't use streaming services, I just buy MP3's (or AAC's on iTunes or whatever they're using nowadays, it's been a while) and keep them locally and on the cloud. Never liked most Streaming Services' recommendations anyway.
I'd love to leave streaming services and roll my own server, but I rely on things like the Release Radar and song radios for discovery and just haven't been able to find a self-hosted solution for that.
I don't want to have to plan out the music I'm going to listen to, I just want to dive in.
I use the Spotify data via Every Noise at Once (https://everynoise.com/research.cgi?mode=name&name=) to gather band suggestions, but it is an annoying amount of work compared to having a script that sees all of my music and makes a playlist of 20+ songs using that data for me. Have not found a solution for that.
Use blackhole or newpipe
Me listening to Joe Rogan in my car:
βThis episode is brought to you by Athletic β¦β
βAaaargh! I pay Spotify! They gave you eight and eight figure contract! Why the fuck are there ads??β
Wow, I'm not gonna move to another subscription music app. If I see this, I'm back to mp3s and maybe something selfhosted.
PlexAmp and Plex are a good option
You are also the product coz they keep raping your data and selling it to advertisers on other platforms.
Spotify Exclusive Podcasts also contain sound ads here in germany. For me it was a reason to unsubscribe as i don't listen anymore to so much new music and have a own catalog of music from past.
the synonymes entry in the english language for "ads" is expanding everyday
I have around 5000 songs in a playlist. Anyone got an idea of how to migrate them to just local .mp3 files or something?
Any sailor worth his salt needs spend a few seasons earning his sea legs before he can begin to call to claim any understanding of the sea.
AKA, There is no easy way. It will lots of time and manual labor to find all the individual files in your Playlist.
The biggest bullshit...
