Spotify’s functions have not changed a bit since 2016. It is literally the same application, what has changed are the tiny things they’re doing for compatibility but that is not really worth mentioning. Intentionally leaving UX out.
Honestly what code is there to write for this glorified web browser? They’re probably also outsourcing most of their data collection and recommendation algorithms.
Buy physical media, rip CDs, share shit and that’s it
I wouldn’t place too much trust in Bandcamp. It was acquired by Epic Games and then sold to Songtradr shortly after, it’s waiting to enshittify. It might also be better to buy off of labels and artists directly if you want to “support” an artists or a label. Used CDs and vinyls are great too.
Yeah I download the files right away. It creates something of an Odysseus Pact I think. The second they stop offering me the downloads DRM free, I download the files DRM free elsewhere.

Find a musician you like. Buy their music on Bandcamp. Download as FLAC.

I find Bandcamp missing most of the artists I listen to. I’ve had a lot more success buying from Qobuz and beatport.
