        I was joking. I didn’t think “transferring music to phone” is any problem at all, because I simply had a folder set up to sync. But it seemed like you needed Spotify to be super convenient and no alternative to be possible, so I just joked and didn’t say anything about my real setup.

          Oh sorry 😅 text is difficult sometimes. I didn’t need anything. I merely meant that before Spotify you had to do things like that. If you forgot then you didn’t have your new music.

              Yes, absolutely. Look, you’re missing my point. Before Spotify you had to download or rip your music to your computer and transfer it to your phone. If you forgot/didn’t have time to do that, you were left without your new music.

              With Spotify that disappeared. It was a major convenience to suddenly not having to bother getting new music in the first place and not having to synchronize folders in the second.

              You never used Spotify. That’s cool and it’s great that you had a working solution going for you!

                And you are missing my point.

                Downloading the music and transferring it to your phone can work automatically, you don’t have to do it yourself. The manual way is what most people know, including yourself. But I never did anything but press on a button, and suddenly a song was on my computer and on my phone. One button press.

                That’s exactly the same as what Spotify does.
