What’s wrong with Spotify?
- imagetic 6y agoSpotify and Apple Music have the same issues, sometimes opposite issues. I used Spotify for years, and switched to Apple Music out of curiosity to allow me to have better control of a curated collection of work mixed with all the music I still owned from my younger years. I listen to a far more diverse collection on Apple Music, but it's also far more difficult to discover new things and aimlessly browse. Spotify is slowly building a wall around itself. They have a lot of great original content that you can't get anywhere else. Just thoughts I had so far. That's all.
- tannhaeuser 6y agoNothing I guess. I just thought Spotify is about streaming when I really just want to buy music from artists who are less mainstream.

I don't like that and therefore I continue to support bands via Bandcamp, from where I can download FLAC files. Unfortunately not all bands are there and some keep focusing on streaming platforms/YouTube and it's becoming harder and harder to get the music files locally.
