Do you have any recommendations?
Their entire economic model relies upon providing the least amount of money possible to the rights holders. This seems to often mean removing access to "expensive" content in customer libraries.
I don't think it's a simple coincidence that some of the best tracks wind up getting removed arbitrarily. It's almost like I can trigger this to occur by listening to anything "not mainstream" too many times.
This is the main difference between video and audio. One rarely watches the same movie or show more than once (it can happen, and there are people watching Succession or Friends on loop, but they're a minority). But we often listen to the same songs / artists and like the familiarity of it.
Subscription for music is not just detrimental to the artists: it's fundamentally a bad deal for users.
It’s annoying and gross and ruins the product.
Was. They deprecated their API which allowed you to lookup for more songs of the same type.
Probably just to piss me off. SpotifyQT + that was great.
Now I'm stuck shuffling through playlists.
Nowadays there's probably better alternatives though.
Hope this helps!
I have most of my music on my phone and can listen to it with zero network connection. There have been multiple instances where I have been the only person with music..
