Don’t worry, if you switch to Duo the messages don’t stop. They just change to “Upgrade now to a Family Plan!”
I’m afraid to ask- what if you get the family plan?
They convince you to start a second family with your mistress in Atlantic City
They might summom up a family super version and limit the family plan to 3 people, so you need super if you have 2 kids lol
Ah Family Plus.
I guess if they want to listen on a different IP addresses, you’ll need Family Plus Mobility
Use Spotube, a Spotify client that’s available via F-Droid or it’s official site
That’s all. Enjoy free Spotify premium-like user experience. You can also log in with your already existing Spotify acc for convenience
Nice. Any chance my existing spotify accound could get banned or something? I want some QOL changes but am afraid of losing ~400 playlists…
Thanks mate !!! Thats a great app!! To be true lately a lot users share their apps, you guys give amazing solutions!
I dropped YouTube app and I use newpipe, now I can use spotube as a replacement to Spotify.
I had the same Wow! experience when I first heard about this app. One can’t literally tell which apps UI is the official one lol
Glad to hear others like it too!
“So everyone in the couple can enjoy…”
But there’s only two people, you said it’s a couple???
Does this read weird to anyone else?They’re trying (and failing) to be cute. Like saying “all two of us”. “everyone in the couple”, because it’s called Duo. Personally, if I had Spotify, this ad would be the last straw to make me cancel.

If you are able to give support to artists you listen to, try to find ways to give money to them directly without any corporation leeching most of the money.
You know- mStream, Plex, Jellyfin, Lyrion, Yunohost and Navidrome are all free ;)

I don’t know what all of these are but surely it can’t be at search some song and tap and listen?
Of course not. You need other software to rip your music from physical media, or potentially multiple other software to search and download them. You’ll need additional software to host everything over the internet. You’ll probably want a computer to act as a server. You’ll very likely need a private VPN to be able to access it over the public internet. You’ll need some networking knowledge to set everything up. Hope you’re familiar with docker. And afterwards you’ll have to manage everything yourself once they are up.
Even if you don’t search for new music very often it’s a lot of work. If you care about being able to discover new music then it’s pretty bad. There’s a reason music streaming exploded in popularity so quickly. This shit is not easy or convenient to self-host. At all. If you’re already selfhosting a bunch of stuff, then it might be worth it to add this stack on top of your existing stuff. But absolutely not worth building anything from scratch just for this.
I already self host and have some of those services, and do always on vpn. I just haven’t found a reliable method to rip my Spotify playlists since the API went down. I used to just cron job it, so my plex was in sync and use plexamp on my phone.
I personally used spotdl when I wanted to transfer my music off of Spotify. It does unfortunately only download from YouTube which means its not 100% successful, it missed a handful of songs for me and 1 or 2 had an incorrect version altogether (like 10 hour loops, etc.). Overall it was like more than 99% correct for my playlist of around 2000 songs though, and its super easy to use especially in either a python or shell script since its a python library with a cli built in. There are definitely other options I don’t know about, some of which are probably better tbh, but spotdl has been good enough for me personally at least.
It looks like Jellyfin + Mopidy will do the same thing as Spotify Connect which is my most used app/service. Will take a closer look. Self host various other things so adding a new app wouldn’t be an issue. Thanks for the list.
I am so glad I swapped to downloading my music rather than streaming. Fuck Spotify and every other streaming service. Owning my music is more important to me than any level of “convenience” those services pretend to offer
Plus you can make it just as convenient by self-hosting your own streaming service from home!
Oh do you have any recommendations on how to do that? I’ve just been using Syncthing which works fine, but I’m curious if you have better ways of doing it
I just wish i could buy and use cd’s still, the artists used to see more money and i got to use the music in whatever device i decided.
I’ve been building up my collection by browsing my local Bullmoose (idk how widespread that store is) and other places that sell CDs. I’ve got a disk reader a friend gave me to rip them.
Where we live they phased out Duo and force&switched us to Family even though we’re only two. That was a year ago or so
Apple Music doesn’t pull this shit
paying for music has to be made cringy again
Spotube and yt-dlp for me while directly supporting the artist through merch, physical media, or bandcamp.
They run ads in the podcasts that are exclusive to Spotify. There is no such thing as ad free Spotify.
Could someone please explain this post?
I’ve used Spotify an exact total of one time. It was shit then, I imagine it’s still shit now
I stop paying for a sub when they went exclusive with rogan. Then deleted my account when they gave money and praise to trump. I’m trying to get out of as many things as I can that support the fascist us government
not only do you pay them to shove more adverts at you, they’re giving a substantial chunk to chuds like rogan all the while stiffing the artists their service is built on.
nice fucking job.
I just got a “swipe right or left” ad for duo
thanks, spotify, for occasionally reminding me I’m single
