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.
remember when paying for music was considered cringe?
Spotify is still a thing?! Who knew… so many better options out there… hoping they crumble between artists leaving and no one wanting to deal with the drama and prices… they are about to be the “new vine” of pitfall and demise! Bye bye bye! Let the company burn!!
I'm going to need a free (ads ok) option that I can try a little bit before I switch the whole family plan over. I tried downloading tidal and another one a little while back, and they didn't last for long. One I couldn't test without a subscription. I don't remember the problem with another. I'm strictly in the convenience camp with this one folks. I just want to press play, I don't have time to think about music otherwise.
Amazon’s Prime Music? Most people have prime anyway, I think that comes with the ad version. Less than Spotify to switch to add free.
If you still have access to any .edu email addresses, you can get student rates for Apple Music, and probably others.
Ugh, yeah I haven't considered that. We do have prime, but we're really close to getting rid of it. We don't watch Prime Video because it feels ridiculous to navigate and everything seems like an addon they want you to pay more for. I'd assume music is similar.
One of the main thing Spotify has going for it is indie artists, without a label. And so a large portion of my collection will not be on services like Tidal or Apple Music
You can rip MP3 files by using a Youtube-to-MP3 converter.
Just stop using Spotify entirely.
