    Spotify is a good example of this imo, I can listen everything, so it’s not necessary to pirate music. I do have some issues, but never had the problem of not being able to listen what I want

      Music piracy also seems to be on the rise again though. By far not as severely as with video but still… And while music streaming got a little more expensive over the last few years, it’s not by that much.

          Yea, even HiRes audio is a fraction of the size of even a potato quality video. But spotify seems to still lose money…

        Yep. Spotify and such are getting expensive. And the service is getting worse.

        Trying to shove podcasts and other features down your throat all in one UI.

        Please just show me tabs with artists, songs, and playlists. Spotify is so cluttered.

          I tried Spotify years ago and even then it was terrible. Have been using Apple Music ever since and the app is clean, logical and orderly. Can only recommend, even for android users. Compared to Spotify’s focus on playlists and discovery, Adobe music is very library centric. There are enough ways to discover new music but the standard tab when you open the app is your library

      Is that with a paid plan? My brief experience using it was very much not like that. I’d search for a song and it would tell me something along the lines of “you can’t choose a song to play but you can listen to a channel based on it” and a lot of stuff didn’t seem to be on there at all. This was probably 5(maybe more) years ago now, so I have no idea how it’s changed since then.

        Yes, that’s with a paid plan.

        What you were experiencing was a free tier limitation

      And they have Spotify DJ, which not everyone likes but I think it’s great, worth the £10 a month to me
