      I’ve been using bandcamp and normal music playing apps. Always hated Spotify.

      Plexamp is fantastic. Sweetfades and radio/mix features, which can also include songs from shared libraries, are dope as hell. One of my favorite audio players of all time. Bridges the gap between old school local library playback and modern algorithm stuff really well.

          Yeah, might be switching to Jellyfin eventually, but I want to milk my lifetime plex pass for a bit longer. The enshittification hasn’t reached terminal levels for me yet. I’d have to talk all my non-nerd friends through setting Jellyfin up as well, so there’s a significant effort barrier to switching there.

        Plexamp is awesome. Got a couple of playlists and coupled with the dj options to add other songs in between I can just let my playlists play, or do the same with genres or decades. Works wonders for me.

    Programmatic advertising should be forbidden on state level. It is a vector in malvertising and misinformation (and thus is a danger to democracies) and makes the user-experience worse in everything it touches.

    I’ve been a Spotify subscriber since 2012 and every year it has gotten worse and worse in term of UX.

    I think this is the year I quit and go back to buying and ripping CDs.

      Tidal is pretty good except for the lack of podcasts. AntennaPod replaced that feature for me and made the switch easy.

        Lack of podcasts is a plus for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

        Hehe I switched to the exact same things last year. Didn’t regret it.

        How’s the music and recommendations?

        For example, does it have a really niche artist I listen to?

        What the fuck it does

        What about recommendations? I have yet to try it though, but it has the music of an artist with less than like 600 views per track that’s crazy
