BlockTheSpot + Spicetify esentially gives you spotify premium for free. No lyrics, and no downloads, but otherwise most premium features are completely free.
That said, I’m considering switching to Deezer, but they do have some missing songs, which is unfortunate.
Yep, same. And it’s a good service, and pretty cheap all things considered. Have found a ton of new artists, have played their songs, bought merch from their bandcamps or merch buckets, or whatever, and all because spotify’s stupid algorithm does get it right some time.
But fuck them, I guess, for not giving enough away in their free to use tier.
Pretty good audio quality too, I have Sennheiser hd600 (300$) and have tuned the heck out of them. They sound amazing and I still cannot tell the difference between flac (uncompressed) and high bitrate mp3 (what Spotify uses).
Yeah, the only time I’ve ever heard the difference in audio quality between flac and 320mp3 is when I’ve been trying to sample parts of songs in Ableton, adjusting the bpm and doing some warping, and you get artifacts. When I listen to music, I have a nice system at home, and I cannot tell the difference. And maybe it’s me, but beyond 20khz basically doesn’t exist.
Yeah, there’s a farmers market nearby with the same fucking problem. If you don’t pay, suddenly they don’t give you the fruits of their labor! Bastards…
I agree with you completely but I am also one of those weirdos who just never stopped using Pandora so I have no room to talk, but 90% of my music listening is via my own music collection. IMO it’s such a better experience than anything else.
it’s incredibly simple. you use the revanced manager, check the boxes you want, and it does it for you. I don’t know how to write a patch, they’ve all been written for me. here’s their website, and here’s their GitHub. only works on Android. I personally used it to crack YouTube music instead, but you can do Spotify
why the FUCK does anyone still use spotify, it’s a fucking joke. Unusable without paying for it.
paying $15 a month to listen to anything I want instantly is worth it
I pay $0 a month for that

Family plan is insanely good value especially if you fill it with friends (20$ for 6). If I were paying $15 for myself, never.

Ive had good luck using a VPN that blocks ads. So far havent gotten a single ad on the free version.

I only use it in a desktop browser with ublock. It’s tolerable, but they keep taking things away…
you can just crack the APK to use it for free.
I’ll just get right on that thanks. So simple
