I genuinely don't get why Spotify is so popular, the way they arrange music, especially downloaded music is so annoying.

Can you even to that now? I remember a few years back you could only have 1000 liked songs

Good to know, thank you!

Some people don't care about organizing their music and all that. They just want their playlists and an algorithm to tell what to listen...

Me? I enjoy my properly tagged Plex library.

So how do you organise your music?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Band Name folders, that's it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I do it weirdly. Basically on how a song feels, I can't tell genres, and honestly, I don't care.

Anyway, these folders are the result:

Music out of directory
Music type 1 Mk1
Music type 1 Mk2
Music type 1 Mk3
Music type 1 Mk4 S1
Music type 1 Mk4 S2
Music type 1 Mk4 S3
Music type 1 Mk5
Music type 2 Mk1
Music type 2 Mk2
Music type 3
Music type 4 C
Music type 4 M
Music type 5
Music type 6
Music type 7
Music type 8
Music type 9
Music type 10
Music type 11
Music type 12
Music type 13

Yeah, I know.

The same reason Netflix was initially so popular, convenience. Almost every song you could think of is instantly available at your fingertips, all in one convenient location

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The only reasons I still use Spotify is because I get it from a family subscription that my mother pays, so it doesn't cost me anything. And it would be a big pain in the ass to get all my playlists on a local drive, changing to another streaming service would make it easier but then why change anything from how it is right now?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

If you ever want to go away from Spotify, use spotube. You can even download all your stuff(just don't download everything at once because you can get banned from YouTube).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

What do you mean? Mine is organized by artist, I feel that's pretty standard. I organize my Playlists myself and the blends always turn out good as well and those are entirely voluntary.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They also have barely anything I listen to

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

There's your problem. You don't believe that a popular song is inherently better. That disqualifies Spotify from viable music aggregators because it only has the popular stuff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I use it pretty much because it's free and I can listen to a lot of music without using my phone's storage.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Who downloads music nowadays? I just stream whatever I want

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Mobile data is expensive.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Do you want a sticker or something?

So you hook your spotify up to this and it gives you different music from what spotify recommends?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

No, I play my own music files.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

yt-dlp should put out a yarrrrtube wrapped

Is there any alternative to this but for iOS?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For my fellow f-droid enjoyers, I recommend spotube. There's some bugs in the UI and some unavoidable issues, but it's more than worth it to get easily accessible music without any ads, telemetry, tracking, electron, required accounts or other anti-features

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Any thoughts on xmanager. That thing worked out pretty well when I used it (still don't actually use Spotify much tho)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I haven't tried it, I'll check it out!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Any good old winamp users?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’m not a winamp user but I still keep my music collection in MP3/FLAC format

It is still nice to have a full, total ownership and control of my copies of music

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Aimp here and I've been slowly converting things to opus

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Is there anyone to clone winamp for fun?: )

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They have a replay out now

I only listened about 5k minutes to Spotify, since I switched to spotube this year.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago
