        Another annoying part about this is how well everything is integrated.

        • I can switch my playback between mobile phone, PC, and living room sound system at any time
        • I can join a playback session on a Bluetooth speaker that a friend started to skip or queue songs

        All of that is driven by monopoly which is bad, sure, but shit’s convenient af

          Yeah I’ve trying to get away from Spotify for years. I still pay for Tidal and yt music too but Spotify service is unmatched by anything out there. It’s not even close.

        I used an old ipod to put my songs on, as well as an old iPhone since Apple.has a decent default music player versus the free version of Spotify.

      Probably I should develop other habits, but I find hard to improve the amount of good discoveries I got through Spotify with barely no effort… I do the effort to “obtain” those I like from time to time, yet still the effort is low, efficient and worth of it

        My fear is, when do those turn into trashy AI music so they don’t have to pay artists.

          I have doubts trashy AI music can trigger me at all… in any case nothing is forever, so I am paying attention to the drift in the offer and quality, at current pace my forecast is that within 5 years my musical habits will have drifted away from spotify to something I do not know yet…

          The only continum in my whole life is my ever growing offline library, modernized with technology pace, and that is fed regularly and more likely will be preserved… and if someday I lost everything, I will still have my love for the music I find worthy to remember…
