    Your daily reminder: if you don’t own it, it’s not yours.

    The it in this case is your music library, and by own I mean have in your personal possession and not DRM’d.

    I pay for Spotify but my dad has the free version. They don’t even have the ability to queue specific songs. Oof.

      1. Pay $0 to use a product from a business that is losing money
      2. Business makes a policy change to try to convince you their product is worth paying for, but still let’s you use a version of it for FREE
      3. Wow this company sucks, I’ve given them nothing and they’re taking everything away

      In a capitalist society you speak with your money. It’s the only language businesses speak. If you’re not giving a company any money they’re not going to cater their product to you, plain and simple.

        Yes, but I hate capitalism, and at the same time, want to be a consumer whore without paying for anything because I’m entitled to a service I think I need. I also require the newest iPhone every year, but will keep complaining about never having enough money.

    “changed”? More like “removed”

    Putting all the best features behind a paywall, opening up ad space as well as sponsored song spots… Where have I seen this before?

    My biggest issue with Spotify was that they were changing the main screen layout what seemed like every other week. Like bro I don’t do podcasts so keep them off my homepage.

    I ended up canceling and going to Apple Music because we were already paying for their other services and it was cheaper with their bundled membership. I also have a Plexamp server with all of the music I have ripped over the years and actually prefer that to Apple Music

    I keep wondering why people even bother with spotify. Like, even on the go, I just pirate these things.

    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.
