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...

Is there any reasonable option that I can use on a Garmin watch standalone? I like to run without my phone and listen to a podcast and Spotify has been my go to.

Can your watch play mp3s? Most podcasts are available for download that way too.

ive been using apple music for years, mainly like how for edm it tends to have highquality recorded live sets for all djs, and they are seperated instead of being one long continuous track, like youll get

  1. song
  2. song2/song3
  3. song4
  4. song5
  5. song6/song7/song8 Most convenient way to listen to them and get all the track names.

Is there any music on spotify that isn't also on youtube? Youtube has practically everything, it has always seemed to me. I've never been tempted by spotify.

I got a subscription two months ago because I had an event where it was simply easier to just use Spotify. I'm going back to plexamp I guess.

What an awful website. You either sell your soul or you throw away your money. No thanks, I will stick to the post title.

I cancelled it when they started to crack down on family plans with separate households. It just wasn't worth the money to me anymore. I wonder how much more price hikes the remaining customers are going to tolerate. At some point it becomes cheaper to just outright buy music..

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Probably is cheaper for a lot of people who just listen to the same stuff week after week

[–] callouscomic@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

People pay corporations for music? Morons.
