Edit: started a free trial of Qobuz, it might be the winner for me.

I’ve been meaning to distance myself from Spotify for a while now but I’ve got a lot on my plate and their service has been very convenient. I’ve been paying for no ads since 2014 so I haven’t heard the ads personally but have seen multiple sources online describe them and confirm they they haven’t stopped as of today. I cancelled immediately. Not sure how many Spotify users there are on Lemmy but I just thought y’all ought to know what they’re up to. Spotify let’s you write a message saying why you’re cancelling and I was very descriptive. Hopefully they’ll back down just like Disney with Jimmy Kimmel.

    Thank you for the suggestions! I’ll give it another go, see if I can make it work 👍

    I was using Symfonium as my client on Android, maybe that was part of the problem.

    I used Beets for processing/tagging, which was also troublesome; never could get it to do anything on its own, had to manually initiate every session, and lots of stuff needed handholding to get tagged correctly. Never could get Picard to work at all, neither in Docker nor on my desktop.
