For those who still want a streaming service: I switched from Spotify to Qobuz, no complaints.
Just make sure to set up your Qobuz before you delete your Spotify, as you can export your playlists. I messed up on that part.
They lack Linux app, though, innit? Heard of 'em, pondered, researched… also, I'm on a family plan, and it's not up to me to handle that. So I'd probably have to pay for it meself, separately, adding overall family costs (and increasing mine, to no effect of others). Unless I get everyone to switch, and that might be hard
Yeah, no Linux app, and no third party apps as far as I'm aware. I really liked the GTK app Spot. But for me, Spotify was no longer an option - I deleted my Spotify account before I found an alternative.
Why was Spotify no longer an option? Was it, y'know… Or was it something else?
There's several issues, but for me it was:
All of this new stuff is bad, but I already decided that this was not a company I want to support. They seem to represent everything I hate.
Oh, so the overall stuff. All the usual reasons. Or at least the ones I would think of. Paying bucks to make a free format "proprietary" while not paying shit to artists.
Yeah, I'm not all that original. :)
Forgot to mention their efforts to ruin podcasts for everyone. I refuse to listen though anything else than independent podcast clients.
