I’m more bothered by there being ads inserted in podcasts when I’m a paying customer tbh

    Wait what. I know some platforms for managing podcasts like Anchor shove in ads, sometimes even mid sentence, but this is the first I hear of Spotify itself inserting them

    Podcasters that upload to Spotify have the option of inserting ads and making money from this

    Most of my podcasts don't but some do, actually I think the ABC is the only one that does, and it says if you don't want to hear advertising use their podcast app, so maybe it's a way of punishing us for not using their app

    Then again besides the ABC's If you're listening all my other podcasts are french language learning ones...

    Why not just use antennapod?

    I don't care for podcasts at all, it's just because they're adjacent to the app I use the most that I stumbled upon them, the ones I listen to don't have ads except the abc's if you're listening and it's what, 30 seconds for something I listen to maybe once a month?

    Did they stop just grabbing podcasts from the free web and playing them in Spotify? I remember from a few years ago that some podcasts were complaining and willing to sue Spotify for stealing their content.

    https://www.audiobookshelf.org/ For your podcasts

    https://www.navidrome.org/ for your music

    https://symfonium.app/ for playback of both

    https://github.com/spotbye/SpotiFLAC for stealing raw FLACs from fucking Tidal using Spotify metadata because I guess their shit is about as secure as a picnic basket held closed with an anti-bear ziptie.

    Does this have a 10/15sec skip button?

    I don't think so. I use audiobookshelf's companion app on my phone, which does. audiobookshelf manages all the subscriptions and pulling and whatnot, it seems to do a decent job keeping me sane on the commute.

    Yeah it's very customizable too. The audiobookshelf support is in an early experimental stage though, but it does work

    Thanks, Gonna check this one out then, having multiple play queues sounds awesome. Currently I'm having to use VLC and blackplayer so I can go back and forth between podcasts and music without losing my place.
