Why do people use Spotify still? Momentum?

Edited for clarity, I'm not saying music streaming I'm specifically referring to getting it from one company.

Whose CEO heavily invests in military AI

And pays artists' (and of course labels) the least out of their competitors?

It's convenient. It's where all my playlists are... that said, I'm open to alternatives?

  1. Listen on YT with adblock
  2. Download audio with Newpipe (OPUS 160kbps)
  3. Manage files with Amaze
  4. Listen with VLC

I like this model, because YT has niche creators and I dont have to care about "Spotify changes X" news. Note: I have 1.5GB songs stored locally and listen ~30 minutes daily. I acknowledge discovering new songs is slower

Learn something new every day!

What devices can play OPUS format?

What's OPUS compression like?

You can just use NewPipe background player. NewPipe lets you create and save playlists. No ads.

Well, piracy, but I'd say apple music or tidal, etc are even better than Spotify. There are services for transferring your playlists.

Some are paid but if it's just a one time transfer you could do them all in a free trial window.

Been using Soundiiz.com for that!

That's the one! I'm sure there's many options though.

People, don't let your playlists stop you from shopping around streaming services.
