I mean fair enough, i use this version of Spotify and don’t pay them a single cent: https://bestforandroid.com/apk/spotify-premium-mod-apk/

But if I was a paying customer i would be pretty pissed opening Spotify the first time on my 3 week travels and seeing this crap :⁠-⁠O Funnily there isn’t even an option to change the location as suggested. Neither in the modded app nor on spotify.com on FF mobile.

    Buying your music and quitting the renting economy

      That is mostly untenable for the average person. In the past a modest music budget was 1-2 albums a month plus the radio for discovery and word of mouth. That was it.

      Streaming platforms give you access to practically everything that’s even remotely popular for the price of 1 album a month. If you want to consume a lot of music and especially a lot of new (to you) music, online streaming is one of your best options. And I know what sub I’m on, just addressing that you said “buy”.

        As a broke mofo who has quit streaming music and have a growing cd collection yes the quantity is lacking (I’m usually able to afford a new lp a week currently have 8), but I have found that I enjoy the music more than I did before, and in the end, every album I buy is mine forever which means that I don’t have to worry about some obscure artist’s stuff being removed from streaming services (which has happened to me on more than one occasion)

        For me music is a hobby and streaming services cheapen music to the point of being background noise
