I'd appreciate if you could share this around. As someone opposed to #Spotify for a dozen reasons there was only #Bandcamp that was semi-ethical & gave musicians a fair deal. Bandcamp is under new ownership, had big layoffs, changed their terms & are starting playlists (likely to fill with AI music?). Thankfully coops such as Mirlo offer a place to share our music that doesn't simply enrich dubious tech giants. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mirlo/mirlo #newMusic#streaming#coops#music#kickstarter
People say that the sound quality in Apple Music is way better than in Spotify. What is the technical explanation here?
It can't be a problem of the encoding pipeline. This problem has been solved decades ago. #spotify#applemusic#soundquality#audiophile#music#opus#aac#vorbis
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
Dieses Spotify ist einfach für'n Arsch. Bei der hälfte der Playlisten die ich in den letzten 12 Monaten erstellt habe sind mehr als die hälfte der Songs weg. Gottseidank bezahl ich nichts. Da kauf ich mir meine Musik dann doch lieber. Dann verschwindet die auch nicht einfach.
TLDR: Now that #Spotify offers audiobooks, they're only paying songwriters based on 50% of their revenue, even though music is still the main offering (and probably the majority of listener hours). So a collective representing composers' rights is suing.

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 👋
"'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.'"
