Before you comment I'm begging you to take the parent comment in the general spirit of digital "ownership" having taken over the culture and not point out that Winamp technically still exists.

I've been using bandcamp and normal music playing apps. Always hated Spotify.

Yeah I use foobar and it works fine, but it still sucks and still affects us that the culture is streaming based. It's better when your habits aren't niche and you're not always fighting against the norm.

Plexamp is fantastic. Sweetfades and radio/mix features, which can also include songs from shared libraries, are dope as hell. One of my favorite audio players of all time. Bridges the gap between old school local library playback and modern algorithm stuff really well.

Yeah, might be switching to Jellyfin eventually, but I want to milk my lifetime plex pass for a bit longer. The enshittification hasn’t reached annoying levels for me yet. I’d have to talk all my non-nerd friends through setting Jellyfin up as well, so there’s a significant effort barrier to switching there.

Programmatic advertising should be forbidden on state level. It is a vector in malvertising and misinformation (and thus is a danger to demcracies) and makes the user-experience worse in everything it touches.

I've been a Spotify subscriber since 2012 and every year it has gotten worse and worse in term of UX.
I think this is the year I quit and go back to buying and ripping CDs.

Tidal is pretty good except for the lack of podcasts. AntennaPod replaced that feature for me and made the switch easy.
