Comment on Spotify's new Showcase tool lets artists pay to promote their music in the Home feed | TechCrunch

Another reason to just use local player. Just buy physical albums and rip them, buy the actual digital files (from eg Bandcamp) or if you can’t afford it right now, I’m sure you can find the files floating around the internet. Just make sure to buy the physical album when you can afford it.

Artists will receive far more support from buying their music this way rather than through Spotify which pays artists very little and the algorithm is against mid and small size creators.

I wouldn’t have found like half the music I listen to now if I was only buying releases I already knew about.

What local players do you use? I haven’t found a good one on Windows so I just use the default (formerly Groove Music).

  I like Audacious. The UI does not look modern but that’s not something I care about. It has every feature I need, it’s lightweight and does not have any telemetry.

  I’m still using an older version of Winamp. It supports pretty much every audio format ever, visualizations, and has an excellent media library format. There is a new Winamp, but I haven’t tried it.
  
  I also use VLC, which supports fewer formats, but supports all the major ones out of the box and is open source and under active development. It lacks the media library though.

Yes, stresming service music players are trash compared to local music players. I use musicolet as a player that have the cool feature of switching between playlist without losing tje position of the latest player songs
