It cost $100, but I can't use it anymore. - Lemmy

I cancelled my Spotify account because can’t get them to stop recommending fucking Joe Rogan to me.
I’m moments away from canceling. Splash screens of some bullshit podcast or something I don’t want to see. Getting fed up.
Get on board, sail the seas

No need to sail them seas, but maybe still use a vpn, just on case. Fun fact i heard from a friend of a friend: Youtube starts rate limiting after 50,000 audio-only video downloads, until you have a new IP.

I am skeptical of the quality of audio on YouTube. And of full album tracks running together properly.

Am I wrong?

I’ve also noticed that sometimes it downloads the wrong versions of songs. While my Spotify playlist has the album version of a song, it might sometimes download a live performance audio or a reprise version.
It’s free. You’re getting “free” quality. Actual quality anything costs money or requires theft.
Im not audiophile so I scrape audio with newpipe. Downloaded and stream quality are indistinguishably satisfactory.
ive donated to slsk. I like the song radio and album radio features of spotify, found one of my favorite bands that way
I have hundreds upon hundreds of songs in my Spotify music library. Downloading them one by one sounds like hell. And then I wouldn’t be discovering new music either.

If you want to move them elsewhere(or even just get a csv export of them) there are apps for that.

freeyourmusic.com will let you pay a one time fee to do it to as many services as you want, it’s a bit slow but it’ll get there eventually.

Renting music sounds like hell to me. If the songs can’t exist as files on my computer (Opus, Ogg, MP3, etc.) then I’m out.
