Thanks, but I would rather gnaw of my own feet

Apple music. High bitrate and aptx on android. And they pay artists more than Spotify. I moved over a while ago but I used some website to transfer over all my music.
Edit: looks like apple music might have the ability to transfer your music built into it now?https://www.macrumors.com/2025/08/26/apple-music-transfer-tool-6-more-countries/
+1 for Apple Music. I know, “boo Apple!” And all that, but it fits well within the Apple one subscription and they pay artists well. Sound quality is good, discovery is good, supported everywhere.

I'm a Linux–Android user and Apple Music is the closest I've found to Google Play Music's library management (the best there ever was). So it's what I use.

And they still don't offer 2FA.

Listenbrainz is the best for discovery no matter what platform. Its opensource last.fm
wrote last edited by [email protected]The last loop I'm trying to close is notifications for new releases from artists I subscribe to.
I found this, but it has no documentation so I haven't tried it yet: https://github.com/provokateurin/musicbrainz-rss-generator
Edit: Nevermind, I somehow missed the Explore page in ListenBrainz that does this automatically (and has its own RSS feed).

I've been a happy Tidal user for years fwiw. The app is great as is music availability and discovery. I went back to Spotify for a while because I was missing its discovery features like discover weekly, but Tidal has greatly improved since then, and now features a daily discovery playlist (10 tracks, which I greatly prefer to Spotify's weekly 30), plus 8 custom mixes based on genres you listen to. Track radio is also solid.
Also, it's maybe the only subscription service that instead of creating new tiers, merged the two it had before into one, keeping the upper tier's features at the lower one's cost
Plus Tidal songs are easily downloadable in full FLAC quality for your personal archive.

I picked up some mp3 players with Bluetooth for about $7 each on aliexpress. Just finished acquiring my entire Spotify liked list. In my house, we're getting back on the correct timeline.
What did you use to acquire your Spotify music? They cleaned a lot of software that could do that a while ago.

I know you're joking but... They actually do already have that. So many songs have a short looping video instead of the album cover or static background when you have the screen open.
You can turn this off in the settings.

Internet company invents a whole new way to receive unsolicited pictures of genitals

At that point I'd just say "we're not going to use Spotify any more" and switch to something else.
Such as?
I’ll start:
Tidal, SoundCloud, Deezer (has ties to Russian oligarchs so gotta be careful) -

How has nobody used to mention that this ALREADY used to be a feature they had before they killed it. I remember in high school me and the girl I was dating used to send eachother playlists. I didn't even know spotify had killed the feature until I went looking for one of those playlists in my inbox that used to be there.

I'd prefer it if they fixed the app so it doesn't play random shit and subscriptions and notifications actually work.

every platform becomes TikTok at the end.
Or Snapchat, or Instagram, doesn't matter. Remember memes like "Microsoft Office will now have Stories"?
