EDIT: The only reason why I still had it at this point was because I could use it with other apps. However, now that my Spotify Subscription is cancelled, it doesn't work with anything. It's mildly infuriating because today, I can't still use it with other apps like I was able to yesterday.

Please don't make the same mistake I made. No one should buy this.

I wouldn't have expected them to do it any other way. The only reason why Spotify is still around is because every bit of competition is even more incompetent and greedy than they are

    totally agree. and plus i kind of want to be charged money here. i want the musicians i listen to to get paid and be able to continue making music. i don't know if the amount they get paid vs spotify's cut is fair, but honestly if I wasn't paying my monthly subscription id probably be paying $0 and listening to less music.

    I have hundreds upon hundreds of songs in my Spotify music collection. The people telling me to just pirate my library are absolutely wild. I can't even imagine how long it would take me to find and download every single song. And then I wouldn't have a simple way to discover new music. Spotify is the one and only subscription service I find to be useful.

    I'm enjoying Tidal as an alternative, haven't heard anything bad about them!

    I tried Tidal back when "Amazon Music HD" launched and I was on a hunt for the best lossless streaming. My only issue with tidal is their catalogue. It is laughably deficient. In the end I found zero good lossless streaming options and went back to ripping my own CDs.

    Compared to when I first tried them a few years ago their catalogue has gotten significantly better

    About 6 months ago I took my 750ish songs from Spotify over and only the FFXIV game tracks didn't get imported in the move

    Compared to like 60 or so percent when I last tried I'd say it's come a long way
