It looks like Spotify's rumored "Superpremium" offering is gearing up for a launch. According to references discovered in the Spotify app's code by Chris
So they’re using our data and also getting paid for it
Yeah? Isn’t that the point of paying for a music service? I pay, they give me access to music and curate it in a way that would be enjoyable to me. How could they do that without some information about me? This is a prime example of what a company should use your data for.
I’ve been using Apple Music for a couple years now and I’m pretty satisfied with it. I moved because Spotify pays artists atrociously and Apple is at least a little better. There hasn’t been much I haven’t been able to find, since there are a lot of services out there that will handle the release of music to multiple platforms easily.
I went from flac hoarding to Apple Music because they have lossless by default, and I love it. I still hoard flacs, but now when I’m not at home I have most all of the songs I love, lossless.
Tidal’s pretty good, they cost the same as spotify but all accounts have access to lossless. The playlists it makes for me are no worse than spotify’s and I can sleep happy knowing the artists I listen to get compensated better than on either Spotify or Apple Music.
I also feel the app’s design helps me see music in the context of the album it was released in instead of as random tracks, which has made me reconnect with some kinds of music I’d grown apart from after I got Spotify.
My comment was in the present tense. I thought that much was self-explanatory.
Tidal offers their “lossless” audio at their lowest tier, for Spotify it’ll cost $20/month. The article we’re all here commenting on mentions how Spotify previously announced and then failed to launch their Hifi service.
Suffice it to say I don’t think this is as clear cut of a case as you’re making it out to be
InnerTune is what finally got me to ditch Spotify. It’s free, no account required, uses YouTube Music (so imo, a wider range of content) AND shuffle is genuinely random.
So they’re using our data and also getting paid for it 😄 I want to ditch it but can’t find an alternative that simple and with wide library.

This logic is really sending me, man.

Tidal’s base subscription costs the same as spotify, but to get lossless you have to pay more. Where I live it’s 20 euros / month for lossless.
I decided to give it a try.
An ‘invalid’ character in a password, that’s just great.
YouTube with an ad block/an api. It has every song and album on it, you can make playlists and there’s a million playlists already on it.
Not lossless, so it’s not comparable.
Then buy the music and use a media player.
Less convenient and you lose music discovery. Also not comparable.
Tidal has better sound quality and works just as well
Tidal ‘HiFi’ is NOT lossless
OK, didn’t say it was. Just said the sound quality was better than Spotify
With Spotify going lossless, I don’t see how Tidal’s sound quality can be “better”.
Unless if you’re referring to Spotify’s current sound quality—in which case you’re making a meaningless comparison.

Deezer is decent.
You mean deezent?

Why not use youtube music via a foss client ? Or just use spottube.
