That’s okay. My suggestion won’t work for everyone.
I spent last June backing up my music collection and then unsubbed. I think it’s a genuinely good app and algorithm, but the theft of labor from artists on top of raising prices twice in one year just was too much for me. I’d rather just play my MP3 files on a FOSS music player.
For those who don’t know, there are online tools out there you can use to rip MP3 files from YouTube videos, and it’s a really good option for backing up your music if you want to cut the cord on Spotify. Just takes some effort and a little legwork.
Do it! I did it some time ago and havent had any regrets. The new flow of finding and dl’ing music will set in naturally. I also noticed that I listen less music, but when I do, I enjoy it much more.
I thought Spotify started banning users that did that? Also, I do use other features a lot, like offline play.

I kinda really want to do this but keep procrastinating. Maybe I should make it my NYs resolution to finally cut the cord.

Yes I know. It’s just the first step of downloading all the hundreds of songs from my favourites first that’s seems insurmountable.
