If you care about building a music library you can listen to for years to come, don't use Spotify, and buck against the trend of exploitative streaming services. Learn about where to get DRM-free audio on our DRM-free living guide: https://u.fsf.org/1lr#EndDRM#BoycottSpotify#Spotify
Just found out that Spotify have secretly introduced new “Basic” plans which just removes access to audio books and drops the monthly cost a little bit.
Worth looking at if you’re like me and use Spotify but aren’t the slightest bit interested in audio books on their platform.
Om Sverige inte passar #Spotify är det bara att flytta. Vi har våra skatter för att även icke-miljardärer ska ha ett bra liv. Så barn får en bra skolgång. För att de som av olika anledningar har svårt att försörja sig själva ändå har det anständigt.
Sluta gnäll och dra! Hejdå, och hälsa Joe Rogan som ni bevisligen har råd att strössla miljarder över 👋

Spotify’s Changing Royalty Rates Could Lose Songwriters and Publishers Millions
It's hard out there for a musician, man.
"'It appears Spotify has returned to attacking the very songwriters who make its business possible,' said David Israelite, the NMPA’s president and CEO [...] 'Spotify’s attempt to radically reduce songwriter payments by reclassifying their music service as an audiobook bundle is a cynical, and potentially unlawful, move [...] We will not stand for their perversion of the settlement we agreed upon in 2022.'"
Me fascina que #GooglePodcasts avise de que los episodios de #TodoSonDesgracias ya están disponibles ahí cuando, al estar en proceso de cierre esa plataforma, no se encuentra dicho podcast al buscarlo.
Tampoco permite #YouTubeMusic vincular la fuente RSS para que exista la misma experiencia ahí que en #Spotify. Debería, pero su email de verificación nunca llega.
#Google de momento se queda sin las últimas entrevistas.
Os avisaremos cuando esté apropiadamente subido a más sitios.
Si os gustaría escucharlo en las plataformas de Samsung y Apple avisad y lo subiremos allí también! 💛
Interesting way people are gaming #spotify for listens.
They find a trending soundtrack playlist (for example Baby Reindeer). They then duplicate the playlist with similar artwork and inject the artist they want to promote listens for throughout the playlist.
What is interesting is that if you search "Baby Reindeer" this duplicated playlist comes up before the official #netflix playlist.
If you look through 6th Street Entertainments playlist, they have done this with a number of soundtracks
I honestly think #Spotify has missed the boat on this one. Those who care about #Lossless will already be on #AppleMusic#Deezer or #Tidal; and those who don't care won't pay the extra to get it. The fact the aforementioned three services all include lossless in their base subscriptions while it will be an extra tier on Spotify won't help matters. #Music#Streaming
If they'd gone lossless a year ago it might have mattered. Now, not so much
Spotify lossless audio said to be close to launch, with third branding
Spotify’s long-rumored high-res music tier looks like it might be finally ready for launch, based on some pretty convincing leaked screengrabs.
The music streaming service has fallen behind a number of its big rivals in not offering lossless music, but so-called “Enhanced Listening” will look to change that, offering up to 24-bit/44.1kHz playback via Spotify Connect on compatible devices.
@9to5google has more on the expected feature and how it compares to the competition, but we want to hear what you think — is high-res sound quality important to you in a streaming service? Has Spotify done enough?
