Back to Piracy! โ๐ดโโ ๏ธ
Really though? It isn't necessary. Use Bandcamp, you probably have half your artists covered. The rest - one of those Spotify alternatives: Tidal? Qobuz?
Personally I do selfhost btw. Jellyfin, though I heard of a better alternative specifically for music recently - and forgot the name again ๐ฅ Something lowercase, ~~like a verb... "normalize" or some such.~~ Navidrome! Thanks @0konomiyaki@aussie.zone
I switched to Deezer!
I would suggest Qobuz (if available) or Tidal. Deezer's CEO is a hard-core religious nutjob who finances anti-trans orgs and sexual conversion "therapies".
Sorry for replying to an old comment, but do you have some source to support this? I am searching online but finding nothing :(
I'll be honest with you - I read that from someone else either here or on Reddit (and they provided some links that looked legit), but I also can't find it anymore. Maybe it was about the previous CEO, the original founder? Not sure, so you can ignore that whole part when choosing a streaming service.
I'd still pick Qobuz because of how much more they pay artists, though.
