@Gargron @nullthegrey I quit Spotify for the same reasons when they paid Joe Rogan a mountain of money. That was the straw that broke the camels back. @Gargron @nullthegrey The only problem is its high price. Do you have a family account you share with somebody? @elvector @nullthegrey Yes, I pay for a family account and share it with my wife and parents.  Same price for higher quality, more money given to artists, and it has Neil Young. I also like that it's purely music focused and doesn't have podcasts. Spotify is always pushing podcasts!  @JustinH @nullthegrey @Gargron edit: And of course it is not Spotify. I am not even aware out extensive tracking, like always wanting to know where I am. @nullthegrey @Gargron There's no downside to switching, IMO. If anyone's interested I used a service called soundiiz to transfer all my likes/playlists from Spotify. It's $5 (don't forget to cancel the subscription).    @Gargron Tidal is excellent 👍I have quit premium plan on Spotify because it hosts and pays loads of money to misinformation junkie Joe Rogan. Never looked back - Tidal is very nice 👌 @Gargron I just quit Tidal today. Way too much music missing on Tidal. My most listened was massively different. @Whiskeyomega @Gargron YT Music does even less. You'd have to look at my last.fm page, which doesn't include when I'm listening through my phone.  @Gargron I don't use Spotify or any streaming music services, I just have a ton of audio files... Last year I just tried to remember the artists that stood out, that I listened to the most, and made my list based on that. 😉 @rasterweb You can use last.fm to keep track of what you listen to. I've been doing that since 2008!  @Gargron @rasterweb I was scrobbling back when I was using winamp. It looks like it should work with all the things. @joe @Gargron Scrobbling you say? Yes, I am familiar with that term. 😉 Back in 2010 I wrote a thing to pull all my scrobble data to my own web site and it's got 76,703 scrobbles. ➡️ https://rasterweb.net/raster/2010/07/22/heard-a-last-fm-mirror/  @Gargron Yeah, life’s hard when you’re not on #Spotify 🤣 I guess I’ll survive on #AppleMusic a little while longer  @Gargron I just switched to Tidal, and discovering Half Moon Run has been a happy surprise. @Gargron Not familiar with #Tidal, so I looked them up and quickly learned that: Tidal is majority-owned by Block (formerly Square), which is owned by Jack Dorsey (formerly Twitter) and Jim McKelvey. A couple of billionaires that just cut more than 10% of their staff too. https://fortune.com/2023/12/06/jack-dorsey-tidal-music-layoffs-spotify/ saw Leprous live for the first time, it was way more than I expected. Huge Queen vibes with the back vocals... Saw Tesseract tooo (insane) but missed Haken. Way too much $ for a single year down here. |
@Gargron Haken is so good!!
