    Price of Spotify going up another buck. Didn’t they just increase it to $12.99 like a few months ago?

    This is probably the last increase I’ll tolerate though. I used a cracked premium thingy for about 2 years but then they offered a 3 month free trial and I thought 12 bucks was reasonable enough so I’ve been paying that for 2 or 3 years now. But then it went up to 13 and songs I like started disappearing. And they started forcing ads and concerts/merch down my throat constantly. Now it’s 14 bucks and every time I open the app it’s advertising some concert or something at me.

    It’s at the point where if I hadn’t already been using Spotify, I wouldn’t consider it as a decent option, but since all my stuff’s on there I’ll just suck it up. If it goes to 15 bucks I’m out though. I’ll export my playlists and ditch it

    [END RANT]

    Edit: oh and what’s annoyed me the most recently is that shuffle seems to have gotten worse. Sure Spotify, I have over 2,000 songs in my playlist, by I’m sure it’s totally a coincidence that “shuffle” is choosing the same few songs every time I “shuffle”. (Apparently they capped the shuffle at 150 songs to work better on low end devices or something)

        I do, yeah, but I’m not a big fan of YTM. Although they do have by far the largest library, since even if they haven’t officially brokered rights to a track, somebody has probably uploaded it

      If your on iOS see if you can get a gang together and start a family plan, works out cheaper and you get more iCloud storage for backup.

        Nope, not an iOS person. Spotify has a family plan and also a 2 person plan too, but I don’t know anyone I’d trust with my account info who’d be down to go halvsies

        Yeah. The only reason I haven’t yet is because it hasn’t quite pushed me over the edge yet. I’m basically 1 foot off the edge, but I haven’t quite fallen over it yet. And also I need some time to figure out what my other alternatives are
