I’m old, I like to own my music. I’ve never liked the idea of leasing music. I’m sure Spotify works wonderfully for some users, for me, Navidrome does everything I need of it.
That’s cool. I just wanted to point out that Spotify was absolutely amazing when it came, it practically killed music torrenting. That you never jumped on board with it made you miss out on a fantastic service is all I say!
I fucking hated spotify from the moment I first interacted with it, primarily due to the way the app worked, and its exploitative position as middleware.
Convenience be damned if it’s a net loss to society.
I’ve always just had to type a songname into a box and have it 10 seconds later. So Spotify gave absolutely no advantage in access to music.
The only semi-relevant new thing Spotify had was music recommendations, but I never cared about that. I’ve never had trouble finding good music organically, nor even the need to listen to new songs all the time.
So yeah, for me, it never was more convenient than what I had before and I don’t think I’ve missed anything.
It’s that much of a burden to transfer like 10-15GB of musics? Even the most lossless file type(the name escaped my mind) do you need more than 30gb? Honestly question I have like 1000 songs and I don’t need more than that.
I was joking. I didn’t think “transferring music to phone” is any problem at all, because I simply had a folder set up to sync. But it seemed like you needed Spotify to be super convenient and no alternative to be possible, so I just joked and didn’t say anything about my real setup.
Oh sorry 😅 text is difficult sometimes.
I didn’t need anything. I merely meant that before Spotify you had to do things like that. If you forgot then you didn’t have your new music.
I left spotify behind
I never jumped on board with it. But people use it and it’s news.
What service did you use instead? If none, you missed out on a majorly convenient service for the user.

How did you solve music on your phone without having to connect it to your computer and transfering it? :o

I still used my cassette player
Haha wow! So you transfered downloaded songs to cassette? That’s dedicated 🤘 I had a walkman but got a smartphone not long after
