Spotify is the last subscription service I still have.

Sailing the high seas for tv/movies is easy for me since I don't really watch that much anyways. Music tho, is huge for me. And as much as I hate algorithms, Spotify's has turned me on to a ton of really good new music.

So, I guess I'm asking here, what's the easiest/most convenient way for an avid music lover to break away from Spotify?

That is a very good question.

  • What would it cost if I was to acquire the music in my library?
  • What if I wanted to sail the seven seas instead? Where would I get the music from?

As for the algorithm, a lot of the suggestions for new music is probably also available to non-premium users (e.g. "Discover Weekly") and could be scraped/downloaded from the API.

I believe there could be a rise in demand for a solution to migrate away from these audio walled gardens, especially with the upcoming price hike.

Soulseek is the best place to go to get your music from a ship.
