I bounced from Spotify to Qobuz to Tidal. Spotify is so unethical I had to leave. Qobuz was missing a significant portion of my library and the interface had too many issues. I was happy on Tidal for a while, then I found out they dropped about 10% of the music from my favorites list without telling me or keeping a record of what songs were missing.
Can’t really talk about it on Lemmy though because the self-hosting crowd is very aggressive here, and “I don’t want to play music I downloaded because constant new music discovery is important to me” is an unacceptable answer.
Yeh I dropped Spotify for the same reason. I am trying to support the non racist and non greedy options.
I am moving to self host but my libraries are old school. I listen to set playlists. I’ll miss just being able to pick a random song.
It’s a pity there isn't a decent alternative out there. Good luck with your search.
Thanks! Someday, my prince will come.
At least the library transfer apps are pretty good.
