Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

So that's a big fuck no for me, gonna need to replace it in the morning. Someone mentioned Tidal on the article, anyone have experience to give it or others a recommendation?

Identical "it's a library, not a radio" style if possible but not run by fools would be ideal. Thanks.

I switched to Tidal. It's missing a few features, but the music library is basically the same (the only songs that didn't transfer over from my Spotify library were very obscure anime soundtrack stuff) and the audio quality is superb.

I use YouTube music but I've also tried and liked https://www.qobuz.com/

They're based in France but they supposedly have higher quality than tidal. And they have free trials

Edit: kept YT music because of the no ads on YouTube.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

YouTube has ads? 😅

[–] GeneralVincent@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I really like Tidal, feels similar to Spotify at a similar or lower cost, surprisingly wide music selection, decent music discovery and suggestions, offline download and hifi audio, etc.

Rutracker and redacted.

Navidrome or jellyfin server.

[–] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I hear that, still have a decent chunk locally but have gotten a bit spoiled using Spotify as a discovery engine over the past several years.

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

I think there's a way with scrobbling but the closest I've found are smart playlists

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 3 points 4 months ago

I’m on Apple Music now but I much preferred Deezer to Tidal.

[–] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It doesn’t have the device streaming capabilities, but otherwise it is similar.

[–] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Device streaming as in which? Only devices I would have that wouldn't be getting their data from a phone/computer would be the chromecasts that have an app on the play store, no smart speakers or such here.

[–] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 2 points 4 months ago

Spotify has a central casting system where every Spotify instance talks to each other on the Wi-Fi. Tidal is not as communicative and just does direct streaming.

[–] nobody158@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Jango is good but its more of a Pandora replacement

[–] pi3r8@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I swapped over to qobuz a few months ago and im happy with it.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I switched to Tidal two years ago and I'm happy with it. As some have said, it's missing a few features but nothing critical to me at least and it being cheaper is worth most of the missing stuff I didn't use. >95% of the tracks off my 800+ running playlist of liked tracks that I manually ported over from Spotify were available on Tidal.

I switched to apple music over the weekend and I'm very happy with it. I listen to a lot of music with friends so I specifically wanted a service that had the ability to let other people add to your music queue and apple has that. Apple has a built in library transfer so the switch was easy and you'll save money if you have a family plan or and/or also subscribe to apple tv.
