I use Qobuz now, and they are great, with human-curated playlists and suggestions. So far, I love it.

    Hmm. Sadly not available in my country yet (and while I'm sure I could pull some shenanigans to subscribe with a foreign address, I'm going to assume that also means none of our local music labels will be covered, so that's a non starter.)

    I'll keep an eye on it. But in the meantime, I also gather it doesn't do podcasts - anyone have any recommendations on where I could be migrating podcasts, from Spotify? Non-US companies only (which for avoidance of doubt, absolutely definitely excludes Apple).

    I listened to podcasts on Antennapod for years. It's open source and free, but there are many other podcast platforms. Used Pocket Cast before too, very good, licensed under MPL 2.0. Those services don't have Spotify exclusive, but have all others.

    Edit: corrected mistake about Pocket Cast.

    Thanks! (And I should say, it was a genuine question :-)). I'll take a look at them; I don't listen to any Spotify exclusives (yay!), but there are one or two that I subscribe to their supporter schemes and at the moment I do that through Spotify. I guess that's my next task, work out if there's a way to subscribe directly and use something like Antennapod.
