I currently have Spotify, mainly because I signed up a while ago and never really bothered to explore alternatives.
I pay €13 every month these days which I feel is quite a lot. I was already thinking of getting a few friends together and sharing a family plan, which would make it cheaper. But if I’m doing that I might as well take a proper look at my options.
What are some good, hopefully ethical, European alternatives? I know Spotify is from Sweden so good in that regard (?). Deezer is French, but also mostly owned by some American investment firm. If I can believe what I read they pay artist a bit more, which sounds like a good thing, but I don’t want my money to mostly go to American investors…
Any advice is highly appreciated!
If you have a qobuz subscription you can use tools such as https://github.com/vitiko98/qobuz-dl to download the music at high quality, also works with trial subscription
I try to avoid that type of thing because I don’t want them to lock everything down and enshittify.
I do use a third party Qobuz TUI player on desktop.
