  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.

    I switched to Qobuz. They use soundiiz.com to migrate, I think it was free transfering to them?

      Another updoot for Qobuz. Very happy with it, and the migration process was even better for me than as you describe it. Also, I didn’t think I’d give a shit about it the higher-quality codecs but they’re actually amazing. Big fan, A+++, would Qobuz again.

        Yeah the high res masterings are fantastic

      +1 for Qobuz! Tidal firing 100 employees did not inspire confidence in their app being less shit

        I still don’t understand why apps these sizes need that many people in the first place, what do they do!?!

    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 features at the lower tier cost

      Listenbrainz is the best for discovery no matter what platform. Its opensource last.fm

        I wish there was a better way to scrobble from Tidal to Listenbrainz on Android. I know that the Listenbrainz app itself can read system notifications and get song info from them. But the fact that you need to give permission to it for all types of notifications is not an easy decision to make.

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

      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.

        Yeah, it doesn’t have a native Linux client.

    I am very happy with my recent switch from Spotify to TIDAL

    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.

      There used to be some programs that ripped directly from Spotify API. Did those all go the way of the dinosaur?

    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.

      +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.
