What bugs me about the streaming services is songs from my library dropping off the service with no notice

That's something I couldn't listen to, so it's not Mildly infuriating, it's the upper tier..:-)
The free version of Spotify is really not worth it. Even Youtube music gives you a better experience.
I hate that YouTube Music keeps trying to make me waste my bandwidth on videos that have worse audio quality than when it just plays the song. 0/10 smoothbrain design, probably just to sell more video ads.

Only 5 minutes of uninterrupted adverts? They said 30 minutes. Liars.
It's worse than that! It's 2 minutes of music followed by 5 minutes of adverts
So they're shorting you 25 minutes on the promised 30 minutes of uninterrupted adverts. Wankers!
This is one service where the free version really isnβt worth it.
I noticed this happening recently as last night. I was wondering what the fuck was going on. 30 minutes my ass, for example, I listened to Alice in Chains' Them Bones which is a 2 minute song, after the "promise" of 30 minutes ad-free and I got ad after fucking ad. Then I get a song, then it's ad after fucking ad. I'll be lucky I get 2 more songs before it's more ads.
I'm actually going to be looking into a media player that has bluetooth in it so I don't have to ever put up with this spotify shit.
The only reason I would listen to 5 minutes of adverts is if I had no way of stopping them.
This is one service I pay for and never had had to worry about ads. I can skip around, download and work it just like my offline music with no differences
I'm also paying for Spotify however I still get ads when listening to podcasts. Really bothering
Those arent spotify ads, they're the ads from the podcast. To my knowledge unless its a "spotify exclusive" all they are doing is fetching the RSS feed for you, not paying the creator anything regardless of your subscription status
And now they're showing locked episodes, which drives me up the fucking wall. Seems to only be with all the podcasts that SirusXM is buying up as of late, which unfortunately make up a good chunk of what I listen to.

For downloading there's lucida.to
Just wait until you hear about piracy!
I tried YouTube today for the first time in years. Its unwatchable. The frog must have been slowly boiling for years to have so many people accept what Youtube is now. Just wow.
I managed to watch about 10 minutes but had about 5 ads during that time, taking up several minutes of my time. It broke my focus and I forgot what the video was about.
Back to Newpipe.
I've actually subscribed to premium. YouTube + YT Music.
Yeah I have a few colleagues that did that too. But I dont want to support big tech by being paying user.

Use spotube or simpmusic. Its not like spotify actually pays their artists jackshit. Just make sure to send small artists a few bucks if you really like their stuff
It's a trap. Its been that way as long as I can remember. If any music service offers a longer ad for uninterrupted music, don't do it.
