I'm a Linux–Android user and Apple Music is the closest I've found to Google Play Music's library management (the best there ever was). So it's what I use.

And they still don't offer 2FA.

The last loop I'm trying to close is notifications for new releases from artists I subscribe to.

I found this, but it has no documentation so I haven't tried it yet: https://github.com/provokateurin/musicbrainz-rss-generator

Edit: Nevermind, I somehow missed the Explore page in ListenBrainz that does this automatically (and has its own RSS feed).

Plus Tidal songs are easily downloadable in full FLAC quality for your personal archive.

What did you use to acquire your Spotify music? They cleaned a lot of software that could do that a while ago.

You can turn this off in the settings.

Taking a page out of googles play book are we?

Yep. Hint hint: streamrip

Internet company invents a whole new way to receive unsolicited pictures of genitals

Such as?

I’ll start:
Tidal, SoundCloud, Deezer (has ties to Russian oligarchs so gotta be careful)

How has nobody used to mention that this ALREADY used to be a feature they had before they killed it. I remember in high school me and the girl I was dating used to send eachother playlists. I didn't even know spotify had killed the feature until I went looking for one of those playlists in my inbox that used to be there.

I'd prefer it if they fixed the app so it doesn't play random shit and subscriptions and notifications actually work.

Or Snapchat, or Instagram, doesn't matter. Remember memes like "Microsoft Office will now have Stories"?

Did a Google engineer make his way to Spotify

What is the history? I thought libre.FM was that, and closed. Can you import last.FM history?

Does it have gapless playback? Spotify says it does but it rarely works.

I have to because my grandma spent so much effort learning how to use it and she loves it.

Same! It decided 'fuck em all' and just downloaded all my music locally. It took some time to find a decent music player, but ended up with Musicolet, it's a fantastic local music player. The way I see it, I've paid for Spotify for years, so I don't feel bad about downloading all the music I had on there. Any new music I want I'll just straight up buy myself.

My post was not supposed to be that TikTok specifically is bad.

my point was every platform (that uses attention as money generator) would eventually be some kind of short videos which emulates pov of user (vertical interface instead of TV horizontal interface) that encourage "engagements"

What like in Jira?
