I’ve been cutting out subscriptions and Spotify is the last one I would like to get rid of. I’ve transitioned to buying and downloading my favourite artists songs so I can own the music I love. The only thing keeping me with Spotify at the moment is the Release Radar playlist it creates for you. Basically I want to know if there is a way to get notified when the artists I follow release new music. I’ve been looking and so far I haven’t found a viable alternative.

I bet they’ve got websites with RSS feeds. Pick up an RSS reader and subscribe to their news & announcements page.

That’s my suggestion. It has a special section for new music from the artists you follow. I also find their recommendations fantastic. Found so much new stuff on RYM

Replace Artist ID with the string of characters found at the end of the artist’s Spotify URL.
Now this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much!

Most music torrent sites have notifications for artists you follow.

FOSS
Spottube (runs off Spotify) Innertune (runs off YT music)
I was running Spottube but it kept crashing, so I switched to innertune closes if you add too many songs in a row, but that’s the only issue so far.
Spottube has all the features, including the new music station.

How much does it cost to say buy 500 songs? What platform allows you to download songs without DRM?
