As per title, if you had to switch away from Spotify ASAP, what streaming service would you go with? Ideally something around the same price range, meaning the change won’t incur in extra expenses. Also good if the service does its job well: playing music and paying artists. Any feature parity with Spotify is a bonus, except podcasts, which don’t require a paid streaming service. Or audiobooks. Focus on music. No piracy either (it’s illegal). The more money going to artists, the better.
Edit: extra bonus points if it is not 'Murican! Also, piracy is very illegal!!!
Eh, I don’t own any Apple devices. Do you own a CD player, though? Or is it just to support the artist through purchase? I wonder how much money makes it to the artist on physical sales, and which way is best for the artist (e.g. an artist’s online store vs. physical store nearby). I do have vinyl. Issue is mainly the cost. Damn thing be 30+ monies for each (I think). Also, convenience. Hitting play on anything I want online vs. picking from a limited selection, having to clean it, hold it carefully, store it in the right position afterwards. I considered buying some earlier this year, when I saw some at the store. Ended up not buying. Wasn’t fully convinced, as I’m not as familiar with those albums. There is also the factor of being able to acquire the stuff I listen to. Big, popular albums? Avalaibalabable. Some of my random, less popular stuff? Who knows…
