I recently began de-corpoing my life, and spotify is my most recent cancellation after I was a premium subscriber since soon after its launch.
Took a bit of effort to convert my library, but I found a useful app to automate the process. And now I have my library back, offline and on my devices forever and for free.
It’s actually kind of empowering, reclaiming your life from subscription hell and corporate voyeurism.
This is one of those things that I dream of doing one of these days. I’d love to have a massive media library stored locally, so that I’m not chained to streaming services.
Or just buy on Bandcamp if the artist is on there. Support artists really directly (they get 85-90% of what you pay for an item) and you usually get a royalty free lossless download as well as subscription-less streaming.
Hope recent dealings doesn’t fuck up this absolute gem of a site.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The next best time is today.
Also, Amazon Music sells DRM-free MP3 files, if you don’t feel like sailing.

Amazing thank you!
