Very fair.
Ah yes that's where their development resources for all the last 5 years went: fucking up the paid experience with minor tweaks and fucking up the free experience with major tweaks.
I pay for this shit for my whole family and don't know a service with anywhere near the same library, I'd jump ship in a heartbeat to a service with both a complete music library and a first-class podcast listening experience for web/PC users.
Are you complaining or its just an FYI?
Spotify would be a good deal at ten times its price, and then maybe they could actually pay people something.
As an artist, though, this shit is infuriating. And as a human being. It's like having a fucking Tesla or something, a car that gets nerfed by software updates and corporate greed.
I can not program, but I am really going to start pushing myself to learn. But, my idea, and anyone feel free to use this, is an open source self hosted (like p2p or torrent) music, movie, fuckitanything app. This has to have been thought of already. Essentially we need to figure out how to decentralize everything. Yes, we need a central exchange kind of like a bazaar or market, but the actual exchange happens from individual to individual. And yes, there are more intricacies like group orders.
So glad I have an ancient crack that still works great with no ads and unlimited skips. Transfered that crack along with flappy bird between like 5 phones now.
I keep wondering why people even bother with spotify. Like, even on the go, I just pirate these things.
Stream music are fucking trash in quality compared to flac, so give me flac or go fuck yourself
This is completely unacceptable. I'm paying nothing and I want more from the service or else I'm taking my freeloading ass elsewhere! If all you other cheap bastards join me, collectively we'll show these corporate bigwigs and they'll be on their knees for our unpaid usage to return.
Fuck your streaming music and cuck my pirate torrenting flag into your throat. Btw, pls support indie music with your money, buy their album and share them with your friends and circles. Streaming services is never going to be profitable and music industry fucking sucks hard.
