Moved to Tidal. Reviews from some tech-site said "It's like Spotify 10 years ago." as if that's a bad thing.

Loving the FLAC quality and non-enshittification.

Tidal lost me immediately when it took 3 months for them to recognize my cancelation of my subscription.

Umm what? That I wasn't happy I got charged three months for a service I repeatedly cancelled?

I think the confusion is that you basically said "Tidal lost me when they lost me."

I canceled to shift my charge date originally. Then it became permanent

It sounds like they lost you in 3 months, not immediately.

I moved to qobus. It's not owned by untied states capital.

I love Qobus. I heard they also pay the artists more fairly. It's just unfortunate that some big artists are still missing. And from what I can see subscriptions only work via the Google Play store.

I subscribed on their web to skip Google tax.

And there’s some great quality CLI applications that let you rip source quality FLACs!

I tried Tidal but they have a glitch on their app where downloaded songs get stuck and playlists stop downloading. They’ve had a bug open about it for at least three years last I checked. It may sound niche, but I’m often traveling and use offline music regularly
