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!

      Yep, very strange choice.

      I also suspect they don’t update your daily playlist unless you listen to a certain threshold of music to save costs.
