I'm sure there's a lot more reasons, but I think I'm honestly done. I've been thinking about quitting spotify for awhile now, too. Am I just being an idiot?
Thomas Lopez
The thought of not actually owning the music I listen to gives me chills.
Blake Rodriguez
stop using last.fm stop listening to video game osts download music you can't find on it use the browser version of spotify
Nathaniel Brown
>Am I just being an idiot? You're the idiot for using Spotify in the first place
Juan White
>stop using last.fm
I need it to keep track of things, it's really helpful.
>stop listening to video game osts
I mean, I could just find it on KHInsider or whatever but why would I stop?
Parker Evans
I use it because it still has a lot of music I listen to that I can hear on the go without having to worry about my phone/music player's storage and save that space for music that's not on Spotify.
TL;DR: it's good at what it does but definetely could be better.
Carson Wright
nah i recommend stopping last.fm. it became a massive headache for me and the recommendation system was rubbish just listen to what you enjoy bro
Kevin Hall
I use Apple Music, but honestly iTunes on Windows 10 is also pretty bad, but not as bad as Spotify is for me.
And desu, it only makes sense that I use Apple Music since I've got an iPhone.

>incredibly slow and bloated desktop app that has been known to crash many computers with Win10, even though it works fine on android and iOS shit desktop then, this literally never happens. >says high quality for premium, but is not lossless you know nothing about lossless audio user, you just think it sounds better because some anonymous users on a Pakistani curry image board website told you so, despite it all being placebo. >they don't have a lot of foreign music (Japan, Russia, etc) Why are you expecting Spotify to have your obscure foreign music no one has even heard of? >NO King Crimson, Acid Bath, Midori, etc who cares about any of these bands >when someone finally does show up on Spotify like COIL then it's barely a few albums who cares >little to no video game OSTs this couldn't be further from the truth, but why are you listening to OSTs man-child? >shit tags for last.fm >2017 >using last.fm
Jeremiah Rogers
>Am I just being an idiot? Yeah most of these reasons you gave (aside from maybe the foreign music one) are ridiculous.
Dylan Russell
>No King Crimson >No Midori
These two are my biggest gripes to be honest. But then again, I had to use soulseek to find Midori's albums, so it's like it was any easier to torrent them.
Spotify and Apple Music needs to make it easier to find foreign music, especially Japanese.
Michael Barnes
>placebo
meh I don't mind if it's 320kbps but I can tell the difference. It's more powerful and all the frequencies are coming through. You have to have a trained ear.
>obscure
Obscure music is the best music. Shouldn't you be in school user?
Do you work for Spotify or something?
>just listen to what you enjoy bro
What do you think I listen to really obscure hipster shit just so I can brag about it in my charts? I listen to everything, even the worst most bland pop ever. I need to keep track of all of it. It's hardly a headache.
Oliver Evans
>obscure music is the best Found the snowflake
Parker Torres
>without having to worry about my phone/music player's storage
nigga are you retarded? all the music you listen to is on com.spotify.music/files/spotifycache/Storage taking space.
John Walker
>still using the word snowflake
found the soyboy
Wyatt Sanchez
>who cares about any of these bands implying those are the only artists not on Spotify >who cares >ignores argument

nice reddit spacing >meh I don't mind if it's 320kbps but I can tell the difference. It's more powerful and all the frequencies are coming through. You have to have a trained ear. It is 320kbps though user. >Obscure music is the best music. Shouldn't you be in school user? please oh patrician, tell us the true good music! Please inform us about your favorite EAI or Free Improvisation album! please oh patrician! bless us mere' plebeians! I reiterate my initial point user, why are you expecting a mainstream company to give a flying fuck about obscure music. Spotify has plenty of esoteric artists and albums, but literally no one cares about your bottom-feeder avant-teen shit.
David Martin
ITT: Spotify paid shills
>you know nothing about lossless audio user, you just think it sounds better because some anonymous users on a Pakistani curry image board website told you so, despite it all being placebo.

user get the fuck of this board, you don't belong here.
Andrew Adams
>samefagging also >you don't belong here. user, nice reddit spacing
Joseph Jenkins
so the Russian versions of t.A.T.u. are avant-teen shit huh?
Man I feel sorry for you every time you post.
John Collins

Nolan Ortiz
You do realize what licenses are user? Spotify is a business, so why would they ever license shit that no one cares about? literally all the same person
Levi Morgan
>Do you work for Spotify or something? Yes the only possible reason someone could like a service and say someone else has shitty reasoning is if they work for the company.
Adrian Garcia
stop samefagging. spotify sucks get over it
Kevin Howard
>Using either of those buzzwords. You are both equally pathetic.
Colton Walker
you care more about jewy business tactics? Did you suck off Harvey Weinstein I bet you love Israel too wow you care about shekels more than principle fucking degenerate fucking oven dodger kys kthx
Connor Price
you can delete the app and reinstall it every now and then to get rid of the cache files. Anyway it's not as big as having the files themselves on your phone.
Bentley Robinson
Join the Google play music master race. Anything they don't have, you can download and upload so it's in your library along with all your streamed music.
Cooper White
back to Sup Forums faggot
Colton Thomas
Yeah all that would be bearable, (except maybe for the slow af desktop app in the long run)
But the one thing that turned me away was the 10K song limit in the library. I don't wanna delete something every time I save something new. It's so stupid, they're alienating their most loyal users. I've used apple music since and I'm pretty happy but I miss stuff like discover weekly.
Luke James
Wow a real answer, thanks for that. I think I will switch over to them.
Jackson Richardson
>He agreed with me so that's the only "real" answer Cmon man...
Nathan Edwards
real niggas use spotify-dogfood
Luis Sanchez
this
Fuck streaming
Ryan Long
What? Everyone else is clearly trolling. People who use and defend spotify should have their family burn in a thanksgiving fire in front of them.
Gavin Wilson
>shit desktop how can a desktop alone be shit? I have a really great computer and spotify is fucking god awful on it. Not to mention the WEEKS at a time where it has the error where it can't play any songs on the desktop until they issue out a fix for it.
Isaac Fisher
They Fkn told me I've saved the max amount of albums ur allowed to save :(
Brayden Young
but user you have torrenting software and soulseek installed
Owen Hernandez
I share a music board with fuckwads like this.
Connor Kelly
very edgy user, please go back to your containment board
Leo Cooper
I would be willing to bet that both of your Spottily libraries consist of music you have no listened to, most likely around 80% of all albums you've saved you've never listened to and won't ever listen to. Do yourself a favor a delete albums you know you won't listen to or have no interest in listening to. The 10k song limit is literally only a problem for people who just save music and never listen to it.
Bentley Ward
>less than 1% of users are reaching this limit
what did they mean by this?
Matthew Wilson
it means that 1% of their users are reaching 10k songs saved they won't change it, I'm assuming that 10k is near a break point, if you save more songs they lose money
Xavier Smith
>implying I haven’t done that numerous times already.
Chase Cox
Spotify is for normie plebs. True patricians use Apple Music
Isaiah Perez
>"owning" digital media good goy
Caleb Cook
my favourite part is that they lose money every year
Justin Gray
First guy here, I listen to literally every album in my library front to back. Sure I don't like every song in every album but I only have albums in there that I either like or am planning to listen to in the future and I have tidied up my library numerous times I am doing another marathon of my library as we speak.
Hunter Barnes
>paying spotify
good goy
lol you responded
>hey guys i have all the answers why don't they just do it the way THAT I HAVE BEEN DOING IT, IT'S SO SIMPLE
Lucas Sanders
It's been proven time and time again that ppl can't tell the difference between 320 and FLAC lol. Why Sup Forums continues to insist their ears have capabilities beyond the rest of the human population escapes me.
Xavier Long
some fringe genres like lowercase and drone, you can definitely hear a difference
Camden Martin
post specs or dxdiag I have a mid-range computer and I have literally never had an issue with spotify
Jeremiah Hernandez
but why do you need to keep track of your music? what point does it serve other than as some vain-glorious personal testament that only you yourself cares about? also, as has been stated otherwere itt, it's 2017 dude, last.fm has long surpassed its prime (much like this shitty website)
Carter Gray
Who proved this? Do you have "peer reviewed" studies or papers? Anything at all? I can tell the difference because I've been working with audio all my life in a professional setting, so it's my job to know. I'm not sure why people can't understand this.
Angel Davis
yeah but it streams so seamlessly between my house, car and workplace bluetooth speakers. i don't even need to press play when i get in my car. it just does it for me.
Nicholas Perez
>Epic collection friend
Sebastian Jenkins
>vain-glorious personal testament
lol people on here are salty. why would anyone wanna keep track of their music? gee I dunno, it's not to help them remember what songs or artists they liked or anything. nope it's all for masturbation purposes. let's put it this way. suddenly a song plays and then you're hit with nostalgia. you go "oh yeah I remember this" but you haven't heard it in years because you completely forgot about it. now with last.fm it's a little easier to remember.
Jaxson Stewart
>suddenly a song plays and then you're hit with nostalgia. you go "oh yeah I remember this" but you haven't heard it in years because you completely forgot about it. now with last.fm it's a little easier to remember. eh, call me a luddite but that removes some of the magic of daily life for me. the first part of your sentence carries more grace to it anyway i feel that using last.fm for those purposes is a bit clunky and a waste of time. also for what it's worth i don't appreciate the cut of your jib, i'd prefer a civil conversation about last.fm's merits and disadvantages thank you
Adrian Fisher
my nergo get yourself that google play music, shits tight. 5 tabs open, all scrobbling, got this shit on lock
Robert Barnes
Eh, I got over it. I don't need to own the music i'm >>listening
David Clark
just use Chad youtube to find your shit
Carson Bailey
I find its great for exploring artist that are well know that i havent heard of.
Jaxon Cook
Will post when I get home but it has all the best parts you could buy about six months ago bc online gaming competitively. You're telling me I can run two clients of a game on highest graphics with absolutely zero lag but can't run a music app because my computer is bad? The app is shit. Just because it's compatible with your mid tier computer doesn't mean a whole lot. Also maybe you simply havent used spotify during one of the times it put out a bad patch/update.
Caleb Johnson
why would you saving songs mean they are losing money?
Isaiah Cook
>shit tags for last.fm
That's why I moved to Deezer, some tags are fucked up (artists, bands albums with an "&" for example) but it's not as shit as spotify.
