I am behind with news. What is this thing with Trump and Spotify?

What about an alternative to youtube? We have Lemmy (specifically lemmy.world, which is European) as an alternative to Reddit, Matrix (specifically Matrix.org, which is European) to Whatsapp/Discord, and Peertube, which is the supposed alternative to Youtube, is hard to navigate (because instances are very restrictive [ie only french speaking, no account creation, no lives…] and there is very little content compared to Youtube)

Spotify is European, Sweden.
So I rather stick with that than touch french version.

I switched for Qobuz a while ago because I can’t get the way Spotify put my stream in playlist while I cared to find Album of the day. As flicking through a shelf of disc at the local music store

So any good alternative to Gmail? Think google is worse…

You have to stop using ALL US products then because literally everyone will lick Trump balls because they have to.

Deezer is good

Not available in Romania. Wouldn’t Apple Music be a better alternative to Spotify?

Deezer ?

Does anyone know how much qobuz pays per stream to the artists? I was already looking into leaving Spotify due to its exploitation of the artists (over the past decade they decreased the artists’ compensation by 70%!).

Shoutout for Qobuz, I’ve been using them for years. I tried the most popular music streaming services a few years ago and found Qobuz to sound the best. You can use them for casual streaming, but they are quite audio enthusiast-centered with a lot of hi-res audio material. Not a critique at all, just an information.
Oh boy if thats your logic, you need to basically boycott, META apps, amazon, twitch, all google services, anything microsoft related, Open AI products, Uber oh yeah and even Apple CEO apperantly donated to his inauguration, hope you not using those products lmao.
Good luck fella.

Isn’t Spotify an european company?

Was going to suggest tidal as they are Norwegian and actually pay artists, but apparently they are owned by Block now, which is owned by Jack Dorsey, who is a total chud too these days.

Honestly, if you’re not listening to many different artists and genres all the time, consider buying your music from iTunes or similar services, and managing your collection offline. That way, you won’t have to overpay every month and be a prisoner to any given service.

Qobuz support is terrible and they are quite expensive. Prices listed on their website are excluding VAT.
I would recommend Deezer (French based)

Let’s ban everything in EU only because they don’t promote my political party /s

Tide is fantastic and the audio quality is excellent.

What’s exploring content like? Can you discover new music easily? Is all ‘main stream’ content available?
Poopynuggateer on
Do they have a per-user payment model for artists?

Deezer is also French!

Don’t give Spotify a dime, I’ve been using this for a couple years – xmanagerapp.com

I use Tidal anyway.

I’ve been trying to find an alternative to Spotify because I can’t stand their random algorithm but ouch Qobuz’s price is steep

Already a Qobuz user for 2 years now. Great for discovering niche artists.

It’s not available in most European countries. Not that I was looking for an alternative to Spotify anyway.

Im just using a modded spotify

Spotify is Swedish and one of the rare true European tech successes, being the clear winner in their niche – comparable to Netflix in streaming.
Can’t blame them for doing their job and kissing the ring of the new Czar of their biggest market. And it’s 150k, entirely insignificant. We have bigger worries when it comes to tech.
But I can imagine that the world of the grown-ups is super scary if everything is a culture war.

Just use youtubetomp3.

I personally use Bandcamp for directly buying from artists and streaming high quality music.

Host your own music service! You always have access to your music and you actually own the music and no one can take it away from you.
ketchup92 on
What kinda of a shit name is Qobuz though?
They will never find widespread use with a name like that.
Its the same with X/Twitter alternatives like Mastodon… with names so bad, you can’t expect success.
UpperCardiologist523 on
Storting all my music locally. I won’t rely on the music i listen to having to be popular or be removed from streaming services.

Looked up Deezer. It is owned by this American conglomerate: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_Industries
So exploring Qobuz it is
