Yep, this is what finally broke the camel's back for me. Had been meaning to get off it since Dan Ek decided that supporting Trump and Joe Rogan was the thing to do, but hadn't got round to it.

Cancelling Spotify and subscribing to Qobuz took all of five minutes. The sound quality is much better, the albums of the week are actually interesting and curated by human beings, the app works perfectly and streams to all our devices, and we're no longer giving money to that dickhead.

Other alternative music streaming services are available. Go on, it's easier than you think.
