Ask HN: Is there a decent alternate to Spotify?
I am a long time Spotify user and today I had enough of it. I am fed up of my songs being removed from playlist I curate. What is a good alternate to Spotify considering I don't want "missing" songs ever.
- smoldesu 3y ago> considering I don't want "missing" songs ever. If that's your criteria, you'll probably never be satisfied with a licensed streaming service. Maybe YouTube Music? I use Spotify alongside an offline library of backed up, obscure songs that aren't on there or have been removed. It's not a perfect system (and I'm regularly enticed to go fully-local), but I'm fairly happy with it. Dump all your liked songs into a public playlist, and Spotiflyer[0] will attempt to back up those tracks. Hopefully that helps!

- averageValentin 3y agopandora.com is my favorite, their algorithm to make you discover new songs is amazing. But you won't find as many songs as on Spotify. Maybe you should look at youtube music
- sacrosanct 3y agoHeard good things about Tidal[0], although I haven't tried it. Bandcamp[1] is worth a try too, if you like less mainstream-ey music [0] https://tidal.com/ https://tidal.com/ [1] https://bandcamp.com/ https://bandcamp.com/
- surprisetalk 3y agoIf you're on iOS, I found Apple Music to be a much better experience than Spotify. The SongShift app is good (but not perfect) at transferring libraries from one service to another.
