    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.

          What was it that you hated? I remember both the program and the app when it came being quite useful, if not as polished as it is now of course

            Not the person you asked the question to but, for me it was dogshit music selection. I dislike radio music, my forte of music is almost exclusivley EDM based. Spotifies selection for glitchstep/dubstep/chillstep was a joke when i was looking into it. Plus I heavily disliked their leaning into requiring an account to even listen.
