    not only do you pay them to shove more adverts at you, they’re giving a substantial chunk to chuds like rogan all the while stiffing the artists their service is built on.

    nice fucking job.

        Is that the thing that randomly switched from my desktop to my phone in the middle of a song a dozen or so times yesterday for no apparent reason and with no interaction from me on either device? Yeah, uhh, I would very much like to find an app that doesn’t do that.

    I’d switch if there was something like RVRB for Tidal or, better still, your own local music collection. Or if RVRB supported other platforms.

    Seriously, that site has helped me find so much stuff I like, it’s hard to let that go.

      I download straight from Tidal. Tben use a navidrome server to stream my music anywhere I go with my own library.

    I am so glad I swapped to downloading my music rather than streaming. Fuck Spotify and every other streaming service. Owning my music is more important to me than any level of “convenience” those services pretend to offer

      Plus you can make it just as convenient by self-hosting your own streaming service from home!

        Oh do you have any recommendations on how to do that? I’ve just been using Syncthing which works fine, but I’m curious if you have better ways of doing it

        I’ve been building up my collection by browsing my local Bullmoose (idk how widespread that store is) and other places that sell CDs. I’ve got a disk reader a friend gave me to rip them.

    Don’t worry, if you switch to Duo the messages don’t stop. They just change to “Upgrade now to a Family Plan!”

          I guess if they want to listen on a different IP addresses, you’ll need Family Plus Mobility

      I stop paying for a sub when they went exclusive with rogan. Then deleted my account when they gave money and praise to trump. I’m trying to get out of as many things as I can that support the fascist us government
