So that's a big fuck no for me, gonna need to replace it in the morning. Someone mentioned Tidal on the article, anyone have experience to give it or others a recommendation?
Identical "it's a library, not a radio" style if possible but not run by fools would be ideal. Thanks.
I switched to Tidal. It's missing a few features, but the music library is basically the same (the only songs that didn't transfer over from my Spotify library were very obscure anime soundtrack stuff) and the audio quality is superb.
I use YouTube music but I've also tried and liked https://www.qobuz.com/
They're based in France but they supposedly have higher quality than tidal. And they have free trials
Edit: kept YT music because of the no ads on YouTube.
YouTube has ads? 😅
I really like Tidal, feels similar to Spotify at a similar or lower cost, surprisingly wide music selection, decent music discovery and suggestions, offline download and hifi audio, etc.
I switched to Tidal two years ago and I'm happy with it. As some have said, it's missing a few features but nothing critical to me at least and it being cheaper is worth most of the missing stuff I didn't use. >95% of the tracks off my 800+ running playlist of liked tracks that I manually ported over from Spotify were available on Tidal.
I’m on Apple Music now but I much preferred Deezer to Tidal.
It doesn’t have the device streaming capabilities, but otherwise it is similar.
Device streaming as in which? Only devices I would have that wouldn't be getting their data from a phone/computer would be the chromecasts that have an app on the play store, no smart speakers or such here.
Spotify has a central casting system where every Spotify instance talks to each other on the Wi-Fi. Tidal is not as communicative and just does direct streaming.
Jango is good but its more of a Pandora replacement
Rutracker and redacted.
Navidrome or jellyfin server.
I hear that, still have a decent chunk locally but have gotten a bit spoiled using Spotify as a discovery engine over the past several years.
I think there's a way with scrobbling but the closest I've found are smart playlists
I swapped over to qobuz a few months ago and im happy with it.
I switched to apple music over the weekend and I'm very happy with it. I listen to a lot of music with friends so I specifically wanted a service that had the ability to let other people add to your music queue and apple has that. Apple has a built in library transfer so the switch was easy and you'll save money if you have a family plan or and/or also subscribe to apple tv.
