    Ngl, I canceled them and haven’t gone back since. Don’t really miss it much, I try to use the same cost as my subscription to buy music every month on CD when I can.

      I have recently discovered Qobuz (French company). You can purchase digital music. They aren’t cheap, but they have selection and hi-res music (sometimes 24 bit).

      But good on you for the CDs, too!

        I heard they pay artists a lot more. Need to double check.

            I’ve used them plenty but…

            They recently got acquired by a turd company and if I remember correctly, already issued a round of layoffs.

            Don’t recall the details. Check.

      I cancelled it the second I found out how easy it was to get it for free.

      I still buy FLAC releases individually from artists I like, I just use Shittify for discovery. Fuck 'em.

      I just want to remind people that you may still have a used CD store in your city, also 2nd hand stores for CDs. They tend to be quite cheap these days.
