I've been enjoying apple music on Android (the audacity, I know) mainly for family plan convenience. I used to use Tidal, back when it was the only one offering higher quality audio. Now that's more common.

However I do miss a few things from Tidal. It had full credits for albums and songs like a CD would have had. And when you're on a track and go to the artist it will let you pick which one you want if there's features or a collab. Apple Music will just automatically take you to the page of the first artist listed. So that's something to consider especially if you're into hip-hop.

There's many options though and they pretty much all pay artists more than Spotify does too.

Pandora is still around and does a decent job finding new music based off listening habits.

WTF is a seedbox?

I have no trouble listening to unlimited music, it's literally everywhere.

Plus it's not just about owning the album (although I absolutely insist on listening on whichever device I choose). It's also about paying the artist.

Sp0tify pays peanuts. When I buy the album from the band's site or bandcamp they get a hell of a lot more money from me. And I want to support them.

You cannot support any artist through Spotify.

There are patches like spicetify which can do that and way more than just adblocking with a ton of customisation if that's what you're looking for

All the streaming services use DRM, it’s just download stores that are DRM-free. Which makes sense, when you buy an album, you should own it.

they didn't give Joe Rogan 100 billion dollars you dunce.

No company in their right mind would pay one person $100,000,000,000! Come on!

This makes no sense. Greedy execs are the ones who would implement a greedy business model to pursue their greed.
