I'm like I've of the few people that didn't use Spotify I guess. After Google music went away I tried it, god it sucked. I dropped it in 2 weeks. Between Amazon music and Sirius xm I get the music I want.
Putting aside spotify being a bad company in general. What is it about the app itself that makes it so bad in your opinion? I ask this as someone who hasn't used any other modern platform, wondering what i am missing by using spotify.
And honestly it's been probably 3 or 4 years since I've used and maybe even longer than that but I just remember how annoying it was the fact that I could not find the music that I wanted to find the fact that the radio stations they had and the playlist they had were limited and overall I just got really sick and tired of fucking around with it compared to the ease of use that I can get out of Amazon music I'll absolutely bloody simple Google music was and how spot on Sirius XM has been for me as far as finding music when I'm driving and I don't need to worry about playlists or any of that other shit. I'm not one that often will go through and want to listen to certain music as opposed to listening to certain bands or more likely just turn genres. Overall I found Spotify pretty crap-tastic and I really couldn't understand why everybody absolutely loved that platform. And I still don't understand it.
Perhaps its personal use cases then. I tend to just add bands or songs as i go and then hit shuffle all when driving unless i specifically want to hear an album, in which case i just hit play on the album.
I like the collaborative playlists you can make with friends and have kept in touch with one of my old friends who moved to Australia through a collab playlist.
Otherwise i listen to podcasts and it do3s a good job of keeping track of those.
Podcasts is specifically why I hated it. I forgot that. I couldn't find the ones I wanted on it, and I couldn't get rid of episodes for the ones I listened to.
