It’s a good thing we haven’t risen Wages between last Price Hike and this Price Hike. Otherwise Spotify might be forced to Raise Their Prices!

And I’m assuming they’re not adding any benefits for the cost like more audio book hours on the family plan…

I get Apple Music for “free” as part of my Verizon plan, so I’ll keep using it.

(Yes I know it’s not really free but worked into the cost of my plan, but I don’t pay a separate streaming music service, so there’s that.)

I don’t understand why people pay for a music subscription when you can just use YouTube Music (ReVanced or FOSS YTMusic clients) for the freezies.

soloner ,

Do those things give you DJ and radio options? I’m too lazy to go find the songs I want. I’d rather just let the app put on tunes and learn what I like based on feedback and behavior.

JSens1998 ,

SimpMusic allows you to login to your Google account, and will sync your YTMusic recommendations. It also has radios. :)

Caesium , to technology in Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again

I gotta start direct downloading my music again soon. Spotify has just left me feeling so frustrated lately.

cyberpunk007 OP ,

I’ve emailed support thrice for intrusive full screen ads. “these are promotions”. Yeah, ads… “Sorry you don’t like our promotions, we will note it”

Uh huh.

talentedkiwi ,

I can’t updoot you enough. I hate that so much too.

Who else is still using YouTube Music ReVanced?

BarbecueCowboy , to technology in Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again

I’m all for going sailing but if there are features you want that that can’t quite replicate, it’s also a great time to look at a VPN service with a server in Turkey… Sign up on a Turkish IP and the exchange rate puts you under $2/month USD. This works for a lot of other things too.

lickmygiggle ,

I love you.

BarbecueCowboy ,

I know.

Nommer ,

I believe a dude on YouTube for a very popular streamer used an IP from Argentina to get 50 subs for YouTube premium to giveaway for only a couple bucks.

Fogle , to technology in Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again

Wonder what it will go to in Canada. Glad I dropped Spotify for YouTube

cyberpunk007 OP ,

I am the reverse. After the Google play music killing, ytm was worse. Ytm might be killed any time.

Fogle ,

Yeah I never used Google Play music and I only started Spotify because my car had integration for it. I used prime music for a while just cause it was free.

If YouTube premium becomes shit I’ll have to look into options

What’s “spotify”?

EpicFailGuy ,
@EpicFailGuy@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a paid alternative to “Spot-X” and “BlockTheSpot” 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

cordlesslamp ,

Tell me more.

BorgDrone ,

It’s the “we have Apple Music” at home of streaming services.

Basically: more expensive, shitty UI, no lossless or high-res audio. Oh, and they pay the least to artists of all streaming services.

HootinNHollerin , (edited ) to technology in Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again

If switching services, this web service that moves your music between streaming services worked well for me. Paid $5 for one month then canceled soundiiz.com

wreckedcarzz ,
@wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world avatar

Same, YTM to AM. Also linked my last.fm if I remember correctly. 1 month for like $5 and canceled after the move.

Twitchy1 ,

Worked great when I moved from Google to Spotify due to YTM. A few songs didn’t transfer correctly, a few saved as covers of the original but as they shuffled I’d just manually search them and correct it.

Does this get rid of ads? It just looks like a UX redesign.

Zidane ,

The android app for sure gets rid of ads. I just use browser + adblock for PC so unsure there

murmelade ,

Yes the PC one has adblock and you can re-skin and use widgets from their marketplace (free)

SadSadSatellite ,

You’re supposed to vaguely imply the existence of those, not just give away secrets in public bruh

murmelade ,

It’s Lemmy, we’re all friends here.

cyberpunk007 OP ,

What is this? I can’t find a description anywhere on GitHub of what this is

murmelade ,

Removes ads with the free accounts. You will be limited to free sound quality and other premium features are missing but ya know, good enough for free without ads.

Then the rest follow. If Apple music hike their price again, time to dust off my eye patch. Ive already cancelled all my streaming and went with plex, radarr, sonarr.

Life hack: get Plexamp and Lidarr with Lidarr extended scripts. Then sign up for a free month of tidal with a throwaway account. Add said account to Lidarr extended. Add all the artists you want to Lidarr and let Lidarr Extended download all the stuff from Tidal for you. Once it has run out, register with another throwaway adress.

cyberpunk007 OP ,

Basically doing this already but my only issue is discovery. That’s why I pay for Spotify. I used to have a script set up before the API closed that would run automatically monthly to snag all my liked songs.

Norgur ,
@Norgur@fedia.io avatar

There are cool projects for that on lidarr, or you use things like last.fm. Lidarr extended does have a feature to grab similar artists to the ones you have, leads to much bloat in a very short amount of time, of course.

3aqn5k6ryk ,

Thanks mate. Will definitely look at lidar. Maybe its time, some music like doom eternal arent available in apple music and this might push me.

ShepherdPie ,

Does this work with any other services like spotify? I know Tidal is lossless but I already have Spotify and Lidarr.

Norgur ,
@Norgur@fedia.io avatar

No, it works on Tidal and Deezer. Yet, since the throwaway account is free... :P Lidarr can import spotify playlists and fetch the tracks themselves from somewhere else though

cyberpunk007 OP ,

I do all these plus the streaming services 😂.

3aqn5k6ryk ,

Music streaming the only one i cant be bothered with since i have family plan with my gf plus discovering new music and new album from fav artist is too much to pass on.
