Comment on Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that

  1. Closed non-federated streaming platform; requires an Internet connection.
  2. Requires a subscription for a lot of basic functionality.
  3. Even though it requires a subscription, they barely pay artists - the only ongoing benefit to using a non-pirate setup.
  4. The increasing amount of "Perfect Fit Content" & LLM-generated music in playlists to avoid said payments.
  5. They provide a guaranteed platform to political podcasts.
  6. Audio quality is not only dependent on the subscription, but even the top-tier is generally subpar and can vary based on how they throttle you that day.
  7. As a platform for mass appeal, discoverability is, loosely speaking, crud.

Pick any of those you like.
