DM me on Spotify: Spotify launches a messaging feature.

Imgur had the social media element since mid-2010s at least, maybe longer.
Yeah I'll never forget the first time I saw someone just casually browsing IMGUR and I was like WTF are you doing?

On another note: Apple Music migration tool will finally help Spotify users switch
Not saying it’s the best alternative, but at least there’s one escape route being built.

Tidal is much better anyway

WHY?!?
(yes, I know it is data mining, but still)

Recently ditched Spotify, and you should too.
what alternative did you end up going with?
I had a script to convert my main Spotify playlist (5000+ songs) to download from soulseek but...yeah that would take a VERY long time and I really didn't feel like being a soulseek asshole going that route.
If there was something out there where I can take my spotify playlist and just convert it and use it on another/better platform I'd switch right now.

No.

Hot take: buy your music instead—direct from the artist whenever possible, or start building your collection from whatever you can find at a thrift store.

I am testing Deezer at the moment. To import playlists and songs, they advertise this 3rd party service, which worked for me.

Yes definitely!

Just checked it out, looks good and pays out really well!

It'll be more popular than Twitter in a week. Not that it's hard...

Soon: reels, shorts, videos and second hand underwear.
And Stories. Don’t forget stories

I noped the hell out of Spotify when I found out it was hosting the Joe Rogan podcast. It's only enshittified even more since. And now this.

Ugh, I hate when services stray from their original purpose and add random features. WhatsApp's status thing isn't so bad, but Spotify's user messaging is just clutter. I just want to listen to music, you know? Maybe profiles for discovering new music are okay, but messaging? Nah, not needed. Keep it simple, music only.

I used something called spotDL, it grabs your music from youtube. I also had to get several thousand tracks, but it still found almost all of them. Didnt find maybe 50 out all those.

I think it reported a 90% success rate + a few that it picked, but got wrong. It mostly failed on my instrumental stuff, standard stuff was fine.

Have to justify those price increases somehow.

nope just tried it, desktop app doesn't work on my distro, can't delete the account now as the deletion method via the website doesn't work.
