I am looking to move on from spotify, what music streaming service pays the artists the best while still having a large library.

    I generally do this for all my media, but I will never do this for music, there’s just such a huge lack of discoverability. Are you just never seeking out new music on the fly?

      This brings me to an interesting phenomenom with me, I tend to dislike contemporary music, but about 10 years later or so I wtart to really enjoy it.

      Then I start listening to music on YT, start playing the same song over and over, and start checking out other songs by the artist, and create a playlist on yt where I can listen to those songs over and over, then I start getting ready to buy the songs on iTunes.

      Right now, the latest songs I bought on iTunes was from the Red Alert soundtrack from Frank Klepacki, Blue by Eiffel 65, Walk On Water by Milk Inc, two songs from SkyMarshall Arts, a few songs from the Shock Treatment soundtrack, some Scooter songs, and a song from Gina G.

      I go through phases where I listen to a particular genere/artist constantly and will then buy a few songs here and there that interest me, in 2022 I was dealing with double flat feet, double heel spurs, a bad knee and more crap, I would drag myself home from the busstop crying from the pain that each step caused, and I just blasted Sabaton constantly, I got energy and was able to keep working both in the office and on getting better.

      And when I got better, I started listening to more Eurodance and fun music, so I bought plenty of Dr. Bombay and Dr. Macdoo, and as I bought my first car this summer I got into classical music set to a disco beat and bought Hooked on classics 1, 2 and 3 as well as Hooked on Themes.

      So while I don’t constantly look for new music, I am not shy of buying it when I find it.

        We used to call these hipsters.

      Personally I use a combination of a large library of mp3s plus I listen to SiriusXM in the car to discover new artists. I also like to go through the backlogs of artists I find I like, and also dig into their earlier/later works
