I got caught in a crazy loop of Spotify resetting my password once a week. They offered no help except telling me my 40 char generated password was “not secure enough”. So, I cancelled and deleted the account; fuck em.
Back to the high seas I guess.

How do you high seas music ?
I vane from limewire days. Then I used YouTube then moved to Spotify.
Soulseek.
I only listen to music with my phone or on my desktop. On my phone I have a pirated Spotify premium app, and on desktop I just stream from YouTube with adblock. Don’t have any recommendations if you’re looking to download though.
Do you need a rooted phone for that app.?
Negative. Just download the launcher, then you can pick the version of Spotify you want to use. Then it’ll download the apk. Basically like how YouTube vanced used to work. It’s been pretty perfect for my use case.
Noice. Will check it out
YoutubeDL or spotdl for actually acquiring music. you tube for some discovery, but really have not found a good one for discovery. Spotify was good for that, but getting locked out of my account on a weekly basis(even free tier) is a hard NO for me. Spotify is a bait and switch scam now; they advertise/tout you can use your account on multiple devices, but that is definitely not true.
Makes sense
The system they have for account sharing is a little strange, at least with the family plan, where instead of having everyone on one account (like what netflix does/did) you instead have to link different accounts to the one that pays for the subscription.
I acquire the MP3 of the song I want from where ever I can find it. Be that buying it, YouTube converter or elsewhere. Then copy it to the SD card on my phone to listen to. No ads, no data connection needed. I even bother to set the album covers and tags up so it is all searchable in the Oto app I use on my phone.
Which is great when you already have established bands and albums you want to listen to. Not so great for discovering new music and genres which is where Spotify really shines for me.
I used to use YouTube converter. However I got Spotify and it was beyond easy. Also google shut down google music.
Converting vs Spotify is a no brainier though. Costs like $30 a year
I actually had this happen for a while. For some reason it stopped. I still have no idea why. I use vpn and alias emails so one or a combination of both is the problem. After some time, maybe I got my trust level up.
