I mean fair enough, i use this version of Spotify and don't pay them a single cent: https://bestforandroid.com/apk/spotify-premium-mod-apk/

But if I was a paying customer i would be pretty pissed opening Spotify the first time on my 3 week travels and seeing this crap :⁠-⁠O Funnily there isn't even an option to change the location as suggested. Neither in the modded app nor on spotify.com on FF mobile.

I'm really liking Apple Music. Mainly because it's streaming bolted on to a real music library manager, so you can do stuff like edit song metadata, 5-star song ratings (though they really want you to use the stupid favorite system that Spotify also has), playlists that let you filter your library based on rules, and even add/upload your own tracks, so anything that's missing you can add yourself.

Though I'm not sure how the experience is if you don't have a Mac, as the web client is hot garbage and they don't have a native Linux client.

Apple Music broke my offline library the last two times I tried.

Replaced a lot of my explicit music with clean versions and left some of it unavailable to me. Music I had for decades that I legitimately bought on CD and ripped in iTunes was now being shown as “unavailable in your region”, even on the MacBook that I uploaded them from.

I had to wipe my library and luckily had a backup from a year before with most of it but some of it is still lost to this day.

Never used Spotify, but I got into Apple Music after learning it supports lossless. It’s been fantastic. I have MP3s on my phone and none of them have been overwritten with clean versions or anything like that other guy said… I dunno his setup though. I keep my giant MP3/flac collection on another HDD, backed up to an external.

Apple music on android is broken af

Sometimes my library crashes and it takes like 5 minutes to get to a point where i can use the app again
