Spotify has raised prices for the second time in a year, with no new benefits, after its CEO sparked outrage by claiming the cost of creating 'content' is 'close to zero' (www.techradar.com)

Isn't YTM like 128-192kbps AAC? I'd rather not even bother ripping that lol

Do you have any recommendations on what would be better to do?

[–] Amir@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If you must use Spotify, use ZSpotify with DOWNLOAD_REAL_TIME and hope you don't get banned. Alternatively, use it with a burner account.

I prefer Deezer and pay for Deezer HiFi. Deemix still works to rip FLACs from there.

Thanks, I certainly don't have to use Spotify.
