Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September

I’m going to need a free (ads ok) option that I can try a little bit before I switch the whole family plan over. I tried downloading tidal and another one a little while back, and they didn’t last for long. One I couldn’t test without a subscription. I don’t remember the problem with another. I’m strictly in the convenience camp with this one folks. I just want to press play, I don’t have time to think about music otherwise.
Amazon’s Prime Music? Most people have prime anyway, I think that comes with the ad version. Less than Spotify to switch to add free.
If you still have access to any .edu email addresses, you can get student rates for Apple Music, and probably others.
Ugh, yeah I haven’t considered that. We do have prime, but we’re really close to getting rid of it. We don’t watch Prime Video because it feels ridiculous to navigate and everything seems like an addon they want you to pay more for. I’d assume music is similar.
No addons that I know of, but they do an annoying thing where they change which specific version/release/album of a song is available, so your playlists end up missing songs even though the song itself is still available and you have to correct the playlist.

If you’re on Android you won’t need a family plan, just get ReVanced and patch YT Music so it’s ad-free and plays in the background.

Neat tool, but this wouldn’t work for my whole family.
