Same story with pirating. I had gigs upon gigs of original rips uploaded to what.cd back before it shut down and a dedicated (in-house!) seedbox with a couple of terabytes of music on it. Even before the shutdown I'd gone pretty inactive due to Spotify. I miss the forums, IRC rooms, and insane collection of obscure music though. Not sure that will ever be totally recreated. > My only wish is they'd get off Electron (EDIT Chromium - thanks jjgod) and go native. A music player is a frequently enough used piece of software to optimize for performance. I agree, but I also think it's probably the main reason we have a semi-official Spotify client on linux.
