      Because if I had to listen to ads I wouldn’t use it.

          Yeah, those days are generally behind me. I want something that always works and I don’t mind paying for a functioning product. I don’t think comparing an actual service with ways of essentially stealing that service is a fair comparison, but I appreciate what you’re saying.

            are you implying these apps don’t always work? because I’ve had little issues with them in the past few years (except that some extensions might stop working but those are just extras so 🤷)

              I think I’m just saying that it’s okay to pay for a service when it gives you what you pay for. And if you don’t want to, that’s fine, and for much of my life I did that. I haven’t used either of the services you mentioned, but I think it’s safe to say setting them up is not as streamlined as just setting up a normal Spotify account would be. And beyond that, as Spotify pushes updates, these services presumably not to respond to those updates, but again, I don’t know, haven’t used them.

              I also think it’s a bit beyond the discussion, and like I said, not a fair comparison. Tidal v. Spotify v. Apple Music are, I think, better discussions to have.

                You just download and install a modified version of the Spotify app and then log in with the same account 🤷
