I appreciate the list. I’m on my families subscription and (due to some personal issues) we can’t cancel for the next ~6 months, so we’re gonna weigh the pros/cons then
I so so so want to but if you listen to ANY amount of underground music there are a lot of artists that ONLY drop music on Spotify. I’ve tested tidal and qobuz and I’d lose like 60%~ of my library
If they don’t, thats odd. It’d be very limiting for reach to only release on one platform, and if they’re that underground you could always ask them to make their music purchasable on sites like Bandcamp. Doesn’t mean they will but it doesn’t hurt either.
There’s also other ways to obtain music, but don’t do anything illegal :p
It always baffles me how many indie musicians just absolutely fuck themselves by only releasing on a single platform and typically some of the shittiest ones possible.
I can’t even count the number of musicians iv come across recently that ONLY release music on one platform.
Typically TikTok, Spotify or apple music. Never anything else.
I would get it to a degree, but these are always the same kind of people that bitch and moan and whine that they struggle to find an audience.
They’ll easily catch on and ban the account that has 8 different IP addresses that are on at the same time, and that’s still financially supporting them. None of the software Ive shared financially supports the abusive aspects of the industry in any meaningful way.
Ditch Spotify.

Spotube got hit with a cease and desist. Do you maybe know anything else to move over my existing playlists?
SpotDL will download youtube music equivalents to Spotify tracks in 128kbps or 256kbps if you have YT premium
Spotify Import for Jellyfin will import your Spotify playlists to Jellyfin (provided the songs already exist in your Jellyfin server)
Lidarr allows you to import Spotify playlists. (I do not endorse piracy, use Lidarr in ways legal to your local laws and regulations ;p )
as for a direct conversion of a Spotify playlist to an importable CSV or JSON file, I am unsure. I never looked for one.

They don’t release on YouTube Music at all?

Underground not on bandcamp?
That’s just silly
