@jaredwhite @theinternet Would you mind sharing which music service you are replacing Apple Music with, if any?
@christopherbrown @jaredwhite @theinternet I ditched Spotify as well as Apple Music and selected #Tidal as replacement.

Which #MusicStreaming service are you on? Is anyone else looking at options these days?
@hpod16 I have struggled a lot to find the right solution for several years. I annotated some thoughts here, but I didn’t have the time to update it. The latest and most important: I switched to #Tidal, and I am quite satisfied so far!
Nevertheless, if you want to experiment with cool, gossipy, and completely decentralized tools, have a look into #Soulseek! I suggest to use Nicotine Plus to access it.

DI.DAY! Erster Sonntag im Monat: Digitaler Unabhängigkeitstag - oder wie wir seit dem Chaos Computer Congress @CCC sagen: #digital_independence_day
Heute befreien wir uns von Spotify.
Als Alternativen habe ich mir @AntennaPod, die #ardaudiothek und #tidal ausgesucht. #DUTgemacht
Schaut auch mal auf di.day online, welche Veranstaltungen & Infos ihr dort findet, zB von #savesocial, @bonnsocial oder @wikimediade

Hi @tidalcycles + @strudel people!
If you'd like to support + encourage software and community development of Strudel, Tidal and sibling projects, now would be great time!

We will never be able to repay all the work poured into these projects but this is a great way to say thank you while helping support activities around it.
With this call for donations we hope to double the funds we currently hold, to support an open call for mini grants in the new year.
The fund is administrated by @iriss @dktr0 and myself, and we do not benefit financially from it.
One-off donations and regular contributions are both very welcome.

You weren't lying when you said moving from Spotify to Tidal was quick and easy.
It's all there. I transferred all of my playlists of weird and wonderful music, and there was only 1 song not available.
And with my student status, it's cheaper than Spotify as well.
Let's see how the 30 day free trial goes.

Whilst everyone is sharing their #SpotifyWrapped, the band Los Campesinos! shared how much they made from streaming services for their album All Hell:

“If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more.”
Los Campesinos! break down streaming royalties. In other news, Fuck Spotify.

I know #Tidal isn't perfect (and buying physical media or band merch is better, but hey, that is situational, I will only buy an album after I already like it), but this sort of thing makes me feel vindicated in choosing not to use #Spotify.

* #Tidal: Norwegian-US. Owned by the US based Block. A company owned by Jack FUCKING Dorsey 🤢. What is a shame, because Tidal looks good in all categories. Even the prices. And it has multiple (unofficial) #Linux apps and a sublime #Android app.
* #Deezer: French. But for 41% owned by the American Access Industries and a lot of smaller owners. With Deezer I get a discount with my Odido phone subscription. Also Deezer has a very decent actively maintained (unofficial) app (despite being Electron). The Android app is just as sublime as the one from Tidal. All apps are btw better than the #Spotify app.
So I created 3 trials. After an hour I ditched #Qobuz keeping Tidal and Deezer for more testing. For now it looks I go for Deezer. A few years ago I tested Deezer as well, but at that moment it was not good enough for me. They improved a lot. Deezer is mostly European, but it's still of course capitalist and vulnerable for #enshittification.
Tidal is not yet enshittifified as far as I can see, but with Dorsey and other tech-bros we all know it won't take that long. Plus it is American. The Norwegian part has nothing to see AFAIK.
On-topic comments welcome.

@darkcoffee8 Although #Tidal and especially #Deezer also have their problematic issues. See https://todon.nl/@joenepraat/115271096054608824 (2 posts)
