I’m old, I like to own my music. I’ve never liked the idea of leasing music. I’m sure Spotify works wonderfully for some users, for me, Navidrome does everything I need of it.
That’s cool. I just wanted to point out that Spotify was absolutely amazing when it came, it practically killed music torrenting. That you never jumped on board with it made you miss out on a fantastic service is all I say!
I’ve always just had to type a songname into a box and have it 10 seconds later. So Spotify gave absolutely no advantage in access to music.
The only semi-relevant new thing Spotify had was music recommendations, but I never cared about that. I’ve never had trouble finding good music organically, nor even the need to listen to new songs all the time.
So yeah, for me, it never was more convenient than what I had before and I don’t think I’ve missed anything.
It’s that much of a burden to transfer like 10-15GB of musics? Even the most lossless file type(the name escaped my mind) do you need more than 30gb? Honestly question I have like 1000 songs and I don’t need more than that.
I was joking. I didn’t think “transferring music to phone” is any problem at all, because I simply had a folder set up to sync. But it seemed like you needed Spotify to be super convenient and no alternative to be possible, so I just joked and didn’t say anything about my real setup.
Oh sorry 😅 text is difficult sometimes.
I didn’t need anything. I merely meant that before Spotify you had to do things like that. If you forgot then you didn’t have your new music.
Yes, absolutely.
Look, you’re missing my point.
Before Spotify you had to download or rip your music to your computer and transfer it to your phone.
If you forgot/didn’t have time to do that, you were left without your new music.
With Spotify that disappeared. It was a major convenience to suddenly not having to bother getting new music in the first place and not having to synchronize folders in the second.
You never used Spotify. That’s cool and it’s great that you had a working solution going for you!
What service did you use instead? If none, you missed out on a majorly convenient service for the user.

How did you solve music on your phone without having to connect it to your computer and transfering it? :o

I got around 400gB and almost none of it is lossless… I stream it using Nextcloud music.
400gb is how much hours of songs?
No idea. Between 60-80 days I’d wager.
No, but I’m talking about convenience :) Spotify solved having to transfer new music between devices nicely.
Subsonic and the likes
I still used my cassette player
Haha wow! So you transfered downloaded songs to cassette? That’s dedicated 🤘 I had a walkman but got a smartphone not long after

No, sync can be automatic. There’s no way to forget.
