I knowww it's shit on, and I hate that the price went up. But I can't get rid of Spotify. I don't love it, but it's definitely the best music app I've used. I do love that it shows local concerts based on the music I listen to.
Check out qobuz, I switched from Spotify long ago and most of the same catalog was available often at better quality for the same subscription price, there was a tool to transfer likes/playlists/etc, non US based, and they pay artists a reasonable rate compared to others.
Spotify has lossless now, but still occasionally struggle to do gapless playback with downloads.
Depends on how you use Spotify and your stance on Piracy but you could sideload (both IOS and Android) the Spotify app (so no restrictions and zero ads) and use Spicetify on PC and Mac.
Just checking because a lot of people miss it but the big boon with having a paid account is that you can get very high quality streams (not sure if its 320kbps or lossless) but you need to find and set that in the settings because they don't want people to use that obv and try to sneak hide it because of the way higher bandwidth- they also like to reset playback quality back to "normal" (=shit) every now and then, scumbags as they are. So make sure you set it to max. The diff in audio quality is massive.
