And still underpaying the artists compared to Apple Music
-
I quit a few weeks ago ... couldn't stand the infernal podcast promotions that never ended. Until I cut the cord!
-
Seriously!! I listened to one podcast one time and now my whole front page on mobile AND CarPlay is all podcasts. The CarPlay is what I care about more because I’m fucking driving you can’t navigate to find new music. It’s mind blowing

About to be 219,999,999 after this price hike
-
Are people really unsubbing over a dollar a month? Seems kinda insignificant if you’re actually using the service.
-
Nah, but people on the internet love to pretend. I just hope this price hike benefits the artists at least somewhat.
-
The people that do we’re already considering it. Each hike you reevaluate if you actually need the service and at some point you drop it.
-
Lol. I stopped paying when price grew from 4,99 a month.

The latest price hike finally got me to unsub
-
Damn, thank you for reminding me to cancel my subscription.
-
I never had a subscription. If you guys use android, go to fdroid and download musify or black hole. Save your $$ and avoid buying stuff from Google, Amazon, spotify and Facebook. Save internet from going to shits.
-
Where do musify and black hole get their content from?
-
Blackhole uses YouTube API but not sure about musify

I cancelled my subscription a couple of months ago.
Instead, I donate monthly to SomaFM, a very nice radio station with a lot of xool genres.
It's crazy how much I missed the lack of control over what the next song was. I ended up listening to mores stuff outside my comfort zone.
-
Meh, overhyped. Prime music ftw
-
Supporting Amazon? I’d pass.
-
Yep, better bit rate as well
-
-
I've been on Pandora for a long time now and, as someone above said, I enjoy the "radio" aspect of it to discover new music.
That, and isn't Joe Rogan on the Spotify payroll?
-
I’m not sure why so many Apple folk use Spotify. I prefer Apple Music. Also, the new included Apple Classical App is fantastic. Spotify offers a shit experience for classical music lovers.
-
Because people prefer Spotify's interface and algorithms.
-
And social tools

As someone who has grown to hate pretty much all things apple, Apple Music is an obvious choice over Spotify for audio quality alone. The music selection is also very good.
