Just a reminder that Tidal is amazing, has higher quality audio, a real shuffle, daily playlists, doesn’t shove podcasts in your face, pays artists more, and provides ways to import your playlists over 🩷 I also listen to some pretty obscure music and haven’t had issues not finding songs.
Looked at that and think it will be an option in the near future, but right now Raspotify and Connect are hard to beat.
Edit: Searching a bit more, it looks like Tidal Connect is actually a thing. I’ll take a good look at switching when my Spotify plan runs out. I’ll be happy to switch to a service that doesn’t screw their artists.
That repo is an amazing example of something so well documented as to how it works they completely neglected to have even a paragraph explaining what it really does and why I would want to use it.
As far as I can tell it’s a Spotify connect client which runs as a daemon so you probably need to control it remotely? Kinda like how AirPlay works on apple devices? Is that right?
Last I’d used Tidal it was still glitchy, missing artists I fancy, with incorrect dates and covers for a number of other artists I like. I’m still on Spotify for now, but with ad-free clients on both my phone and laptop. Is Tidal any better than it was 4 years ago?
Every complaint ppl had about queing was valid but is gone now, it improved a lot at some point last 2 years, I always liked finding related artists on there and if you like edm so many livesets remastered for apple music

Deleted spotify, now use Soundcloud and Tidal. Reminder soundcloud has by far the most music on it.

I believe Apple Music is solid, and if I’m not mistaken, pays artists the most. I was super considering it when I was looking for alternatives!
