not only do you pay them to shove more adverts at you, they’re giving a substantial chunk to chuds like rogan all the while stiffing the artists their service is built on.
nice fucking job.
I just got a “swipe right or left” ad for duo
thanks, spotify, for occasionally reminding me I’m single
Just a reminder that Tidal is amazing, has higher quality audio, a real shuffle, daily playlists, doesn’t shove podcasts in your face, pays artists more, and provides ways to import your playlists over 🩷 I also listen to some pretty obscure music and haven’t had issues not finding songs.
Deleted spotify, now use Soundcloud and Tidal. Reminder soundcloud has by far the most music on it.
Looked at that and think it will be an option in the near future, but right now Raspotify and Connect are hard to beat.
Edit: Searching a bit more, it looks like Tidal Connect is actually a thing. I’ll take a good look at switching when my Spotify plan runs out. I’ll be happy to switch to a service that doesn’t screw their artists.
That repo is an amazing example of something so well documented as to how it works they completely neglected to have even a paragraph explaining what it really does and why I would want to use it.
As far as I can tell it’s a Spotify connect client which runs as a daemon so you probably need to control it remotely? Kinda like how AirPlay works on apple devices? Is that right?
Switch to xmanager and spotx for free
Any chance you would have some links? Manager seems to be a bit vague as there are several results for that name. I think I found Spotx on github though.
My bad for the long response. Here’s the link to the xmanager github
Thanks for following up.
xManager says what?
Doesn’t look like it plays well with Spotify Connect?
What exactly is Spotify connect?
It allows any device to cast music to pretty much any other device that supports Spotify, whether via phone app, browser or Linux app. I have a couple of small computers connected to receivers in different rooms and can control the music playing on them from the attached PC itself or any other PC or phone.
Yeah if that’s what it is then I can do that as well even with my spotx desktop and xmanager android, I can control Spotify on my computer from my phone.
Does spotx add any functionality, or is it just another way to control Spotify?
Spotx is just a script to block ads but on desktop
