EDIT: The only reason why I still had it at this point was because I could use it with other apps. However, now that my Spotify Subscription is cancelled, it doesn't work with anything. It's mildly infuriating because today, I can't still use it with other apps like I was able to yesterday.

Please don't make the same mistake I made. No one should buy this.

I just download from youtube with yt-dlp or using blackhole app to import spotify playlist or using some telegram bot to download songs from spptify links.

Convenience is because you have been using it and made your liked playlist there. I download the songs I like and play it locally because that is even more convenient to turn of mobile data or put airplane mode on and play song with much longer battery life and no other app notifications. Also you can play it on any device with the added benefit of not getting tracked and getting advertisements

You can also have offline mode on Spotify, my desktop has downloaded all 5000+ songs.

Also yt-dlp is just piracy with extra steps. Might as well pirate the music to get it in good quality.

Offline mode on spotify is local media with extra steps. Offline mode is premium only. Also you still get tracked with the proprietary app. Spotify songs cannot be played in your favourite music player, device or whatever. I can copy some songs into sdcard to play it on an old speaker set.

Pirated music gets more convenient than what you paid for. Moreover, restricting saving and sharing media is kinda dumb and does not actually hurt artists or their revenue

It's really less steps. I don't have to do anything other than click a single button once.

It really doesn't. I like piracy, and I have a Plex server with around 6 TB of media but pirating music on a large scale is just annoying as fuck and my PC would have to be on all the time for my phone to access all my Music. My phone obviously can't fit 5000+ songs.

I even have Radarr, Sonarr, and Bazarr; and I am of a few private trackers. So I am not unfamiliar with piracy.

All I play is 75 songs mp3s and i pkay it in shuffle. When i really like a song i downloads it. I really hate having to load every songs from internet to play it, everytime. Still having to load from your pc is easier than having to load from internet, for me. Also you get tracked online, always. Offline doesnt work for non premium.

Btw 5000+ songs with each 10mb file size would be 50gb and you could fit it in phone

Yeah, I know I technically could. But I don't want too since I want to have other stuff on it.

And I don't give a shit about non-premium, it's unbearable anyways.

Also, if I am going through the trouble of downloading music (I have a few albums on my server), I am downloading FLAC files.

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

You wouldn't get flac like quality with spotify so why worry about flac?

And I don't give a shit about non-premium, it's unbearable anyways.

So comes downloading. Non premium is unbearable. I also use xManager for the spotify when i do use it.

Moreover you haven't addressed online tracking yet
