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!!!

    Interesting. I’ve seen Bandcamp, I think, having days where artists get all the money from sales.

    I’d considered Qobuz before, having heard of its better artist payment. It’s unfortunately not available on Linux, which is a shame :(. I do have Android, though, which they probably support. Also difficult doing the switch when you’re in a family plan, cause either it ends up costing you separately, or the whole family must move. Not sure I can get everyone on board, unless they see a benefit themselves

      They have an app on Android, and their family plan is about as cheap as Spotify’s (from what I saw).

      AFAIK their website works well for streaming music on PC, and you can also download any songs you buy.
