I told OP this in previous post; Spotify gave money to Trumps' inauguration. That's why it was removed.

Shameless plug for Navidrome

Want your music, always available. No ads, no enshitification. Maximum quality, always reliable?

There is only one clear winner for me.

Interesting service! Good if you own a library of music.

What are the quotes for? I own the files on my hard drive. I may not have obtained them through traditional means, but I own them.

We learn and iterate. Thanks for the feedback! We still list Spotify in the database but plan to include quality factors in the (probably not so near) future as well to better differentiate between "European address" and "European commitment".

What the heck is "European commitment"?

[โ€“] buyeuropean@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Production in EU, Production in Europe, Production outside Europe could be factors for example and is what I referred to as "European commitment" prior. "European address" would be minimum presence in Europe but formally incorporated there.

Thatโ€™s a fair point.
