I’ve been meaning to stop my Spotify sub because saving more money how ever small it may be. But I kind of like the discovery part of it.
Been using YouTube (Music) again for music listening honestly because it does have YouTube only artists and songs (not in an official partnership or similar, just that that’s where people only upload there to share kind of thing), as well as live versions and in general the tons of covers, remixes and such.
Truth be told I like what YTM algorithm gives me recently.
Having said that, I am open to hear suggestions that further divorces from big tech.
I don’t mind for anime/movies/shows as I rely on word of mouth in the various chat groups I’m already in. Maybe I should extend to music focused groups too?
I like to listen to internet radio. There are plenty of stations for different genres.
If you’re on Linux, shortwave even allows you to immediately save a local recording if you like a track.
Any suggestions?
I’ll be on Linux Soon™️ so I’ll check that out when I cross the bridge.
No need to wait for Linux to listen to internet radio. With individual song metadata. Soma.fm. Bagel Radio for guitary stuff. 9128.live for amazing Ambient mixes.
There’s also NTS.live, Lyl Radio, Dublab etc… but they don’t always show per-track metadata.
Or right here on Fediverse. Just search for Music communities. I already found a few new artists here.
NTS live is a great one
