Spotify to raise prices in September (lemmy.relayeasy.com)

I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers...

It's cheaper if you have 5 friends and take the family plan. I'm paying ~€2 a month for the last couple of years.

of course there are ways round it, but that's not my point. Getting expensive

I'm paying £20/m for a lossless family plan from Deezer... That's how they get you 😭. Now I'd have to apologize to my family members if I took away their subscription. Used to be around £17 when I started a few years back.

I do not recommend getting a family plan.

Bandcamp is not banned in the UK yet. But i think the government has strong intelligence that they are a terrorist organisation.

~~Well, it's owned by friggin' Epic, now... so they're not that far off with their Intel.~~

They sold it to Songtradr in 2023, there were "layoffs", a lot of the employees involved with unionisation while Epic controlled the company were fired (in the wiki page toward the end of the history section).

Ditched Spotify and bought myself a galleon and a tricorner hat instead. Haven't looked back.

Lidarr + Navidrome + Feishin + Metube

Mullvad for acquiring, TailScale and Symfonium for listening while away from home

This sounds like a lot of setup but probably took a few hours in total to set up the various docker images and get them working together.

I spend my saved money on vinyls, official merch, and SoundCloud or BandCamp purchases for my local library.
