Spotify has been garbage for so long. I left when the Joe Rogan stuff got so bad and artists were demanding to have their music removed from Spotify in response.

You can buy music and maintain your own personal collection. It was not as hard as I thought it would be and the quality is so much higher. Artists get more of the money as well from you.

Where do you buy music?

[–] qwestjest78@lemmy.ca 16 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

7 Digital and Bandcamp

Both owned by Songtradr, I prefer to use Qobuz

Just checked out 7 digital, seems to have a decent library but the pricing is weird... I looked at a 3 track release and it costs 8,79€ for the whole thing, or 0,99€ for each track 🤔

And if want to stream your music on the go, setting up something like jellyfin or plex works really well

Or Navidrome if you only want to stream music. It also supports dynamic playlists, internet radio, and scrobbling.

I've noticed people haven't been talking about it anywhere near as much in the last few years. I used them briefly, but at the time you couldn't do things like download an album without making a playlist with that album in it.

It was very weird.
