As apparently, this move is made to target audiobook listeners and podcast listeners, can I recommend audiobookshelf.org
Meanwhile, TIDAL lowered prices and pays artists way more.
Spotify plans to raise prices this year and introduce new plans - GSMArena.com news

How’s their selection for smaller artists? Like breakcore artists?

For $2 I was able to get a month trial of the
Tidal HiFi Plusplan.Have to give my midlife crisis/birthday present seinheisers something to work for.

Spotify being as cheap as it is has always been a temporary tactic to destroy competition, not an indicator of how cheap Spotify will be once competition was utterly destroyed.
Prices will keep going up and up, but the normalization of artist’s labor being worthless will remain unchanged and the only artists that get a share of Spotify’s increasing profits will be artists that make specific deals with Spotify.
The music industry has been utterly destroyed, this is the fail state, the worst case scenario, especially given the fact that Bandcamp is functionally dead as a force for musicians after it was bought by Epic.

Spotify can’t destroy their competition. Their competitors are among the richest companies in the world. If anything, Spotify will be destroyed or acquired, not the other way around.

What’s that? “Go back to pirating”?

I didn’t think anyone used Spotify for anything besides listening to Joe Rogan these days which was enough to get me to leave them forever lol

What do you use?
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I use Prime Music for most stuff now which I’m sure some people will make a face about but it works really well for what I need. The only issue I’ve ever had with it is some albums disappear as rights to it change

I’ve used an exercise that was like $5 for 1 month to migrate music between streaming services before canceling. Believe it was called soundiiz. Got songs and playlists from pandora, prime music, SoundCloud over to Spotify. Now might do again away from Spotify.

I hate Apple, but after Spotify paid Joe Rogan an absolutely crapton of money for his crappy podcast (which wasn’t worth that much honestly), despite not paying artists well, I swapped.
Most other services have High quality music options or otherwise too.
They don’t deserve your money. They give very little to you people you listen to

Spotify also has the worst UI of any music service

I actually thought it was fairly standard.
But it does repeat music constantly without new songs too .
And Spotify connect is a bit of a suck fest since you need airplay or Sonos to use it on many speakers really (or matrix)
