  If they gave half that profit to the artists on there, maybe. But they give about 10% iirc. Give up with these services and just buy the CD, vinyl or whatever. Then listen to your hearts content.

    Buying or even pirating literally thousands of albums just wouldn’t be feasible for me. Way too much cost, effort, and time. Spotify is well worth it for me as a consumer.

    i listen to too much music to be shuffling around CDs while driving

      We don’t rip CDs anymore so you can store them as MP3s on your phone? People have forgotten how to do that? I’m getting old.

        Many people that did that have careers and families and a general opportunity cost for their time. Ripping CDs is so unbelievably far down on my priority list it doesn’t even register.

      Buy it on Bandcamp and download it. Or rip it to mp3/flac. Then blutooth the phone to the car radio.

    Not all artist release songs on albums or the albums were limited release and are hard to find, but spotify has them.

      Go to Bandcamp. Its usually there. Of course that site is in the shit for now thanks to their staff being laid off after a buyout, but the bands are still getting the money.

    I buy the the digital release to support the band and just keep listening on Spotify. At that point the band won’t get more money out of me for the songs and I get the covience of Spotify

    I checked that and still don’t know what it does…

    • FierySpectre@lemmings.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Basically enable those very features that were disabled in the free version

      source

      • KlausBlub@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        As I understand it it gives you features that were available in earlier Versions? Sounds nice! But I guess it won’t give you access to premium content right?

  • kratoz29@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    That would enter the pirate subject wouldn’t it?

    Anyway yeah using the free option provided by Spotify seems like the worst case scenario.

  I agree with you here. There may be a better service out there, but I certainly haven’t found it yet. I use Spotify in my car (via USB to my phone), in my kitchen, master bath, living room and kids rooms on Google mini’s or Amazon Echos… And I don’t have to go out and download anything, it just plays what I want when I want it.

    I think Real Debrid is worth it.

  those who listen to podcasts. i can download them and they’re commercial free.

  • kratoz29@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Huh, I think Spotify is a poor podcast client, compared with the competition.

    • aceshigh@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      really? what am i missing?

      • kratoz29@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Well, I use Pocket Casts and it has volume booster and trim silence options, as far as I remember Spotify had none of those.

  I use it for podcasts. Those exist outside the normally restricted music playlist stuff.
