I can survive using a different service for my podcasts. So this sounds like a good shout. But I’m impressed by the fact they supposedly have as many tracks as Spotify.
Buying from, and supporting the artist directly, IMO.
Many European metal bands host their own webshop selling their merchandise, records, cassettes and CDs; many small and independent musicians sell their songs on Bandcamp (US based website that does take a cut from each payment, 15% I believe goes to Bandcamp, so that is something to keep in mind)
Serious question. Who’s the alternative to Spotify?
🏴☠️
Soulseek
Qobuz !
Not available in my country (eu)
It’s french so that’s weird, what is your country?
Yeah, I was surprised as well, I’m in Hungary. Based on their TOS it’s not available in a lot of eastern EU countries unfortunately.
Qobuzz?

Will chase this down.
I think using anotger service for podcasts is important. Podcasts are free, but Spotify has been trying to hijack the scene and ruin it for everyone.
Personally I like AntennaPod.
@OrloNorppa@sopuli.xyz
Deemix
and Lucida
What the actual fuck? How did I not know about this? I mean… I want to pay for my music streaming, but for downloads this has changed my fucking life.
THANK. YOU.
Will investigate. Fanks

Does anyone here remember radio?
Radio has been mostly bought out by corporations which seem to air more ads than music.
I’ve got a college radio station for alt rock in my area though that has great music with lots of variety and very few ads.
Fuck. I remember taping radio.
Web Radio still exists. I use Shortwave for tuning in.
I still buy my music song by song from iTunes (I haven’t done it since before the drumpfster came to power), I don’t rent my music.
