That’s the fediverse for you! I’ve had better software discussion outside of it tbh.

Anyhow, library management on Apple Music is also way less annoying than on Spotify, especially when handling tracks you import from your local library.

I’d not just blame the fediverse - I’d call out all social media. Popularity reigns there, not accuracy or facts.

Last time I tried apple music, i went to import my saved songs from Spotify along with my local songs. There were about 12000 of each at the time. Somehow I ended up with 40000 songs in my iTunes after it finished loading, and the interface was so slow it was basically unusable.. I will be sticking with Spotify for now.

FYI: Spotify’s Plans to Demonetize Tracks With the Lowest Royalty Payouts Is ‘Discriminatory and Offensive,’ Says Competition Policy Expert https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2023/11/07/spotify-plans-to-demonetize-tracks-discriminatory-offensive/

Time to catch up. Spotify is getting shittier daily.

I only use Spotify for song discovery, and if I find something i really love I'll buy it.

I like the idea of Tidal's plan where they pay your top artists more.. But tidal is god awful at helping me find new music.

Also, i was only talking about functionality, not artist payouts. Apple/iTunes is a functional disaster (at least if you dont own a mac).

Spotify became so slow for me that I had to move the other direction.

I've manually handled my library, but I've used Playlisty for whatever playlists I wanted from Spotify.
