* Streaming works well
* Playback speed control | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Apple Music is cheaper and much better sound quality. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Pandora still hasn't let me down after 24 years. Can't stop won't stop! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Why? Isn’t that the point of shuffle ? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
I just transferred my playlists and likes over from Spotify, out of like 3500 songs it only missed about 30 | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
I still use Pandora with its shuffle stations for free. Ads aren’t even bad on the app. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Which one offers a dual subscription for the same price or less, has podcasts and ALL the music? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
you can buy the albums like it was before spotify. more money goes to the artist that way. the world of music was fine before spotify. people would just get a few albums and replay it. are you saying people in the 80s and 90s didn't know how to enjoy music?
no one is forcing you to use spotify. and guess what happens if enough people did - prices go down. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Do you have Apple devices ? If not and use apple music on windows + Android how's the experience? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Does Tidal work well with Sonos? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
They are raising their price while at the same time giving artists less lmao. They can get fucked | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |

Holy shit what? You listen to and like 100 full new albums per year? Idk but that sounds like an edge case, I discover maybe 20 new, good artists per year and many of those are just single albums or even single songs I like.
I would be spending maybe 180$ per year at itunes prices, 15$ per month does not sound bad at all for music I can literally download and burn on CD.
Not to mention the fact that I could share the files with friends decreasing effective cost even more, you can not do that with subscriptions. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Spotube for free | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Youtube music is also bundled with youtube premium. Been on that train for years now, fuck spotify. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Bandcamp is my other go to because you can directly purchase music from the artists. All my favorite breakcore and jungle artists are all over Bandcamp too so it works out. Nothing like having your own FLAC files. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Maybe Apple will take **this** opportunity to improve their absolute shite of a UI? Doubtful. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Im using it for a year. No problem at all. And basically it’s “free” it is included in my tv subscription. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Yeah, I love Spotify, is it a great company? Is any company great? Literally every company is completely abusing the value their employees provide.
In the end, I would rather pay Spotify than pirate. When it becomes more difficult I will stop paying spotify. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
I can't seem to find any evidence to back that up, despite having heard it a few times.
When they exited the market in 2017, they said they were going to refocus on their core territories (mainly the US) as they had failed to compete with Spotify in terms of subscriber growth in Australia.
"“After analysis and consideration of external factors, we have decided to discontinue our operations in Australia and New Zealand and will shut down the service on July 31, 2017.
“While our experience in these markets reinforces the broader global opportunity long-term, in the short-term we must remain mindful and focused on the expansion of our core business in the United States.”

Holy shit you just fixed my life
Thank you | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Yes, but what do you want them to do? Spotify has been operating at a net loss year over year since it was made | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
They are all basically the same for the 99.x% of end users. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
spotify is still an amazing deal at 12 bucks a month | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Yeah im saying that from my experience spotifys version of this is just better. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
That’s why Spotify has almost 2x Apple Music gross margins... Apple’s CEO has even said publicly they are not in it for the money, it’s clearly a loss leader product | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Spotify is amazing 😂 have you all forgotten how it used to be before? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Those of us that work 10+ hours a day and need it for podcasts to keep our SANITY will gladly keep our memberships 🫶 | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
It's still too cheap for the amount of content one gets. I still think they should raise it more, but only if the artists get more | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
You forgot the best, cheapest one. Piracy! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Yeah and Spotify can not afford that because they don't got dozens of billions of profit every month from elsewhere.
Spotify has been profitable 8 quarters (and many of those 8 are barely profitable), it's not like they have a lot of money themselves. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
He's basically right though. All the main streaming services give around 70% of revenue to the artists. Tidal works out at more per stream because they have more revenue per stream, due to a combination of various factors (customers play fewer songs, no free tiers etc).
If every paying Spotify customer switched to Tidal, the likelihood is that Tidal's payments to artists would reduce per stream.
Tidal tried a fairer payment method which gave a user's most-streamed artist 10% of that user's sub, but it made barely any difference and they [shut it down](https://musically.com/2023/03/01/tidal-shuts-direct-artist-payouts-scheme-after-paying-500k/). | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
and after all that they are still not profitable. there bussiness model is currently not sustainable | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
You can still do this with youtube music. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
I have both youtube music and apple music. The library of YT music is the largest of them all and even if you don’t find something you can add whatever is on youtube to your playlist, the recommendations of apple music though are unmatched. Even better than when I had spotify | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |

Overcast on iOS is free and pretty good. Been using it since google announced they were ending their app | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
The android app is great. Unfortunately the web app is absolute dogshit and the main reason I couldn't stick with it, since I listen a lot on my PC.
I have no idea why Apple can't design a good web app, it's the same across all their products. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
>investors are happy
Doubt it since Spotify doesn't make money | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Spotify operates at a loss though | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Next bing thing is AI. suno.com makes some great music **of my style** to me, and I can download MP3 format and use it anywhere since I own that music which I created (I have paid account).
We are not there yet, but it's getting better. I don't think I'll keep using Spotify withing next 5 years. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Bold statement after they literally just announced record turnover and profits | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
You can navigate to the artist page and select "dont play this artist." | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
I've never payed for a music streaming service, when is this ever worth not just listening to ads every once in awhile or using an App like trebel music? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
>And let’s be honest, the fact that they’re laying people off shows that it’s not making as much money based on the costs it incurs.
Let's be honest he says😂. Because public companies aren't known to lay off people to improve their quarterly financials and increase stock price.
You have seen spotify's stock price right? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
They’re raising prices but it still beats buying albums. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
This is just me but I can't bring myself to use a service called "Deezer". | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
For sure some companies are using inflation to make more profits but that is not the cause of it. Massive inflation started with corona crisis and the Ukraine war. And that is because certain goods like gas got expensive after western countries decided to boycott Russia and in turn energy prices went up massively which increased costs for many companies. In fact, many companies had to shut down due to inflation and higher costs. It isn’t as one dimensional as you think | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Thanks for the info! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |

Google music had a perfect radio. Each station let you thumbs up or down it to customize that station and it didn't repeat the same songs after like 20. Spotify stations are immutable tiny playlists | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Sssshhhhhhhhhhhhh don’t let them know about this | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |

We should create some sort of network where peopes computers can connect to each other and send files. We can have a centralized server that lists all the available files. We can call it like, person to person or something. The centralized service can be like like Musicster or something. That's be a great way for people to share music! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
it really adapts to feedback, it can show newer stuff if you press the dislike on most old songs for a couple of cycles | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
Yeah sorry, I definitely had premium in mind with my comments there. But I find youtube free unusable as well, considering I can't even let my phone screen turn off. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |
They offer free tier. Really don’t see a reason to pay | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |
Lol I was joking, no doubt that shit would be blasted everywhere if true. We'd all know by now. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |
I like the ai shuffle but i switch to nornal shuffle and im pretty sure it switches back to the ai one on purpose and i yell at spotify. sad to see this company going this direction because i thought they were innovative and seemed like a good place for people to work. These job cuts are pretty scummy and making the future look bleak for the many. Why work hard if they are going to find a way to cut your job out. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
SpotDL - this is an algorithm that takes links of playlists from Spotify (for songs, albums, playlists, whole discographies, etc...), finds those songs on YouTube and downloads them with correct album art and meta data.
It is highly accurate, and you can easily get it free on GitHub.
Stop paying an industry that has been slowly stealing from artists for decades.
Steal too fast and it's theft. Steal slow e ought and it's "ju$t business". | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
I appreciate tf out of this.
I'm the annoying dickhead at parties that ends up on a soapbox at parties and pushes talking about current events even though it's 'such a bummer' and people hate it.
Nothing is going to change if we don't *do* something.
The news paints current protesters as criminal inconveniences. But what if I told you that *the inconvenience was the fing point*. That's why strikes (done right) fucking WORK. No one is listening. No one WILL listen if you don't MAKE them.
Make being an asshole in public unacceptable. Make being a bigoted racist unacceptable. Make being a misogynist unacceptable. And make being an unethical employer *unacceptable*.
Chick-fil-A ain't going anywhere anytime soon because they actually treat their employees okay.
But if you're still shopping at Walmart, shame on you. We know how fucked those employees lives are. Sure, it's cheaper, but it's the same fucking thing as buying 'real' diamonds; you're actively contributing to human suffering. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

**California mulls per-mile Road Charge to replace gas taxes**

if cars are going to drive themselves, they kind of have to be location aware.. *can't do it any other way.*
if "OnStar" is going to call 911 when it thinks you've been in an accident.. it'd be good to have accurate location.
if the car has a "black box" that records every single accident.. "determining fault" becomes downloadable. *every car is an unimpeachable witness.*

Who isn’t spying on me these days?
My phone is spying on me
My computer is spying on me
My television is spying on me
My thermostat is probably spying on me
My car is spying on me
Self checkout is definitely spying on me
My ring doorbell is spying on me
My neighbors ring doorbell is also spying on me
Any website I visit is spying on me
Then my data is leaked all over the place because “oops! We forgot to not store your information in plain text again so sorry!!!!! Our security budget is literally some nickels and a half smashed pb&j Here is free credit monitoring for a year :)))”
or something like that. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
- I think those are specific examples of things uncorrupted by murphy’s law. What happens when the company with said data gets hacked and now some bad actor can find out where you go, work, etc? This is already an unsolved problem, I know, but having more (and completely distilled) versions of one’s whereabouts could be bad and will be for some.
- One of the reasons people don’t like ideas like this is because the laws and overall paradigm of personal data being stored like this aren’t settled (or even close) and are constantly in flux. It’s not really clear what the data would be used for if the state now has it.
- You opt into Onstar. It might be on by default when you buy the car, but you can definitely turn it off.
- A self driving car might need a destination, but a local maps database is all that’s needed. There does not need to be any kind of transmission to an outside server of the car’s location to get someplace. GPS is passive.
- A lack of “unimpeachable data” is probably something that can be driven by capitalistic motives. Those little sensors for car insurance work that way. Lots of people (myself included) opt out even though it’s cheaper.
I see what you’re getting at here. Data can solve things in society, LOTS of things, by better metering cause and effect. I don’t think people respect it enough now though. Too many unintended consequences and too little regulation. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

Worked for MS for quite a while. It's called stack ranking. At MS they have 10% forced GOOD attrition per review cycle. Meaning each department stacks their employees, has discussions on whom over performed, performed and underperformed. The problem is that even if you have an exceptionally strong team, you have to still identify your "weak" performers which are then managed out. The suckiest thing about it was that if a dude knew he was in the underperforming bucket, he would leave prior to the actual review and the managers would have to choose another unlucky soul. As a result, attrition ended up around 15%. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

Right, but they wanted $200,000,000 to go to Canadian production.. that's $5 for every man woman and child in Canada. A bit much don't you think?
