I'm old enough to have an mp3 collection, so I haven't needed spotify. They don't have 20% of the tracks in my playlist and their integration of local audio has been steadily eroded to be almost unusable now (i.e. it's completely separate, doesn't show up in regular search, playlists etc.). They also push audiobooks and sponsored results in my face even on the Premium subscription, and their UI sucks.
If you already have a collection and are reasonably content in what you listen to, topping it up with a few albums a year is not that hard.
Or just use youtube music!
- asveikau 9mo agoEven if you have an mp3 collection, the streaming apps are good for discovery, recommendations, and generating playlists. There are probably good local solutions for the last one especially, but a convenient UI that's already on all your devices helps.
- rjh29 9mo agoAbsolutely - although the free plan (or free trial) of Spotify/YouTube are good enough for that. Spotify is certainly convenient especially being multi-device, but after a few months you've probably exhausted its recommendations.
- hostyle 9mo ago> Even if you have an mp3 collection, the streaming apps are good for discovery, recommendations ... No they are not. Hi there. We noticed you have been listening to Rage Against the Machine, Metallica and Deftones. Why not have a listen of this Robbie Williams song too ... blasts out some pop song at extra high volume.
- asveikau 9mo agoI haven't had this experience at all.
