My conscience has never been more free
Yeah, but are the artists getting paid?
The artists weren’t getting paid when you were using Spotify. The shareholders were.
If you want artists to get paid, you have to buy direct or support them indirectly via merch/tickets/buying streams, etc.
Yeah I do, that’s what I’m saying
Gotcha. Thank you for clarifying.
The ones I really like I will still buy something from. The others I don’t listen to enough for them to even make $1 from streaming anyway.
I use the money to go to concerts and buy merch!
I moved to Qobuz where I am slowly buying my music to fill in my Navidrome server which is my main driver. They support and pay artists substantially more.
Qobuz bruv. Pays artists more and has easy peasy playlist migration.
I wanted to use it, but a Facebook tracker in the app is a hard no for me.

YouTube music better not be on that list. I have problems with it adding generated music to radio stations all the time (stuff that’s unlabeled but that I know is AI from lists I’ve seen floating around the internet). I went through one ai “artists” whole catalog and downvoted every song they made and still sometimes I catch them slipping.
Tidal, Qobuz, Bandcamp, and Deezer are the ones if recommend.
I love Poweramp for listening to .flacs on android, best 8€ i’ve spent on an app
Bandcamp or qobuz. They actually pay the artists a lot better. Especially bandcampfridays
I’ve used Qobuz for years and have zero complaints.
bandcamp is all i need. if an artist only sells music on corporate sites, they’re a sellout and part of the problem
My biggest thing is discovering new music in line with my broad tastes. Anything do that that well? Then im off.
I’ve used Qobuz for a long time, and it’s been great.
Honestly, some are better than others depending on priorities, but literally anything is a better option than Spotify on most fronts these days.
I’m on my trial month with Deezer before I buy the family subscription and get rid of Spotify. My experience so far is positive, but their search seems not to be as good as spotify’s and their catalog is more limited. Still worth it if they pay more to the artists and they are not led by Daniel Ek
Not Spotify, but I’ve just been using YT Music FOSS alternatives for a while + offline music from CDs I own.
With my headphones, I can’t tell the difference between a lossless FLAC and audio from YTM, so it’s not an issue for me.

Nice. Do I need referral code for this? Can u share your username so that I can register??
I don’t think a referral code is needed!
I made a video on this topic several months ago.
