I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”.
Why am I seeing ads if I’m already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

You are always the product when you do not own physical or digital non-DRMed copies of your media.
If you can’t reliably and repeatedly play your music in the middle of nowhere 50 miles away from any internet signal, you are the product. Download MP3s and take your music back.
And people on the lemmy.world instance wonder why we fight for the right to talk about piracy.
so i should have like and hdd of 1000tb just to listen to musica and series?
Just like back in the day.
You don’t have to carry it all at once, swap playlists around. Carry 300-500 songs at a time, more than enough to really appreciate each song rather than bebombarded with choices
That’s cool, and I would pay a small fee for the convenience of not having to carry all that around
Same. Which is why Spotify exists.
They treat your subscription as a promise of continued business. You’re literally funding them trying to continue monetizing you and dominating your attention.
Fuck Spotify, fuck Netflix, fuck all of them.

I want FLACs!
I want WAVs.
Just convert it with FFmpeg
I know I can do that.
Have you heard about sarcasm? That’s what I was doing.
I thought maybe you thought that WAV was purer than FLAC
Nah, I just like to brag about how the file is uselessly bigger
Look, they ask me at the audio store how I listen to my music when I ordered two amps to try out, just to make sure I don’t just use Spotify.
So I guess it’s never out of question that people consider WAVs a completely different sound qualities.
You can download lossless with Apple Music and listen to it with no data connection.
Yes, but I want the files themselves, so I can back them up and not worrying about losing them in the future.
