Can’t even seek through songs.
No.

Ah yes that’s where their development resources for all the last 5 years went: fucking up the paid experience with minor tweaks and fucking up the free experience with major tweaks.
I pay for this shit for my whole family and don’t know a service with anywhere near the same library, I’d jump ship in a heartbeat to a service with both a complete music library and a first-class podcast listening experience for web/PC users.
Another lost of reasons to use YouTube music. Not that they don’t have the right, or good reasons to do this, but the free experience is much better over here. Especially if you use an app like Innertune
Are you complaining or its just an FYI?
They just need to add commercials for Premium that have horns or police sirens and they’ll be all set
Soooo, pandora?
Isn’t free Pandora the exact same thing?
I was making that comparison, yes
Ah, thought you were saying people could move there as an alternative
So it’s pandora now?

Miss the radios and CDs? Blame record labels.
Thanks record labels!
You’re welcome, dumdum.
Just bought a new CD a few weeks ago. I try to own all my music and not stream anything
Like Blu-rays, own them while you still can.
not stream anything
Are you commited, 100%? Unless you’re into classics, most releases nowadays are on digital, especially indies. Bandcamp is too good for my taste.
Just listen to the radio then instead of complaining here?
You can actually do both, at the same time too
I thought complaining about corporate greed was the guise under which we here on Lemmy collectively demanded everything we want for free?
I really got tired of them adding ads to podcasts - just felt like a real insult to paying users. So I hopped ship. There are apps that make it relatively simple to export your data to a new service.
And Netflix and other streaming services, despite supposedly saving us from cable, re-invented cable.
But the good news is, maybe it’s time to get the good old iPods/DAPs back into the mainstream again. You can have a big SD card with all the music and podcasts you could ever want without tying yourself to a specific service.
Use Spotube. It isnt have these limitations. You get premium spotify for free 😆 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=oss.krtirtho.spotube
Plz spread the word, it is the only way we can move them to right way, if they feel it…
I can not program, but I am really going to start pushing myself to learn. But, my idea, and anyone feel free to use this, is an open source self hosted (like p2p or torrent) music, movie, fuckitanything app. This has to have been thought of already. Essentially we need to figure out how to decentralize everything. Yes, we need a central exchange kind of like a bazaar or market, but the actual exchange happens from individual to individual. And yes, there are more intricacies like group orders.
