Is there a Spotify alternative that has no ads?

I pay for Spotify for 7 years or so now and i'm so sick of all the ads. After every update there seems to be an: oops, sorry, you have ads now. Podcasts are filled with ads. I was just listening to a podcast where they shoved in 3 ads mid-sentence. How long until musicians put ads in their songs. I'm just so sick of it.

If you want to listen to podcasts, you should use a podcast app. Not an ad service with podcast functionality.

Podcasts are free (most of them). You can use any podcast app you like. I like poket casts, but you can find about 100 other apps.

Google has their own podcast app that's also pretty good

It's also getting shut down this coming year, so it's not a great suggestion.
