I'm not subscribed anymore, but as someone who uses the desktop client mainly it's hard to find a good alternative (good UI, snappy)

Deezer and Qobuz are meh. I won't use Apple or Amazon. edit: or Google.
Maybe Tidal? Are there other ones?

I just found a third party player for Qobuz though. Not enough features but cute:

I left Spotify when they tried to force tiktok ui update out of nowhere and I wasn't even paying for it

Would love to see a bandcamp revisit. Not as popular as Spotify but at least sales go to artists now. edit: wasn't aware about the union busting. kinda sucks there are no good alternatives.

I could never get on board with spending money to stream music. There are a TON of radio stations, free streaming services, small independent artist collectives, and more hours of live free music than I could probably listen to in a lifetime.

I am the weirdo though, I get it. I VASTLY prefer live music over studio work.

Some people just use music as a tool. I think you are more likely to say you see it as human expression. Live music is far better when you want to feel something in my opinion.

I downloaded Spotify once and deleted it within a few days. F-them.
