    I’ve always just had to type a songname into a box and have it 10 seconds later. So Spotify gave absolutely no advantage in access to music.

    The only semi-relevant new thing Spotify had was music recommendations, but I never cared about that. I’ve never had trouble finding good music organically, nor even the need to listen to new songs all the time.

    So yeah, for me, it never was more convenient than what I had before and I don’t think I’ve missed anything.

      How did you solve music on your phone without having to connect it to your computer and transfering it? :o

        It’s that much of a burden to transfer like 10-15GB of musics? Even the most lossless file type(the name escaped my mind) do you need more than 30gb? Honestly question I have like 1000 songs and I don’t need more than that.

          No, but I’m talking about convenience :) Spotify solved having to transfer new music between devices nicely.

            Yeah. It’s a different story for people who ‘consume’ music like they consume other digital media.

            Those folks always need something new shoved in their face, and streaming services are their go-to.

              Haha yeah I guess those who enjoy listening to the same records over and over don’t have a need to transfer new music between devices, that’s true.

          I got around 400gB and almost none of it is lossless… I stream it using Nextcloud music.
