Ditch Spotify and start contributing to open source personal library streaming apps — I’ve been using Jellyfin+Finamp+Sonixd for streaming my music library for a couple of months now, and I’m so glad I made the switch from Spotify. As a bonus, my money now goes to artists I choose on Bandcamp to buy physical + digital album files… instead of to the army of UI redesigners, podcast-pushers, and VC firms associated with Spotify.
- xerox13ster 5y agoThis is what I have done but now that Bandcamp has been purchased by Epic I have nothing left because I refuse to use it now. It might be the same now but how do I know what's changing behind the scenes or if it's something I want to support?
- vanilla_nut 5y agoI know how you feel. I suspect for now it’s fine to use Bandcamp, though I don’t like the feel that I’m contributing to Epic’s bottom line. Right now, I have to assume it’s just as good for artists as it was before, except with someone new signing the checks. I’ll be on the lookout for news about Epic changing things, abusing artists, or funnelling egregious amounts of money into podcasts, though…
