I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers...

I cancelled it when they started to crack down on family plans with separate households. It just wasn't worth the money to me anymore. I wonder how much more price hikes the remaining customers are going to tolerate. At some point it becomes cheaper to just outright buy music..

Probably is cheaper for a lot of people who just listen to the same stuff week after week

ive been using apple music for years, mainly like how for edm it tends to have highquality recorded live sets for all djs, and they are seperated instead of being one long continuous track, like youll get

  1. song
  2. song2/song3
  3. song4
  4. song5
  5. song6/song7/song8 Most convenient way to listen to them and get all the track names.

I can't even imagine paying for it to begin with.

No biggie. I never had subscriptions. I always thought it was a waste of money.

Will they be raising their rates in India? Because that's where Spotify thinks I live now.

I switched to Tidal when I realised their stream quality was, at the minimum, double Spotify, and cheaper. Then all the controversial shit about Spotty came out and I was just shaking my head disapprovingly from Tidal's porch
