Happy App Release day. Daft Music is out! 🥳

If you're moving off Spotify and are not happy with the macOS app of Apple Music, give it a try.

I’ve seen a lot of discussion about the subscription model lately, especially since some people got really upset about it. I tried to make it as affordable as possible while still supporting the development for something you probably use ever day (€2 a month).

On the other hand, I see app developers on YouTube mostly talking about SEO and charging €10 a week for really simple stuff.

Am I holding it wrong?

@obrhoff everyone's a critic.

It's not worth aiming for not receiving complaints, that's impossible. Make it free, open source and you still get weird stuff in your inbox.

@obrhoff oh BTW local music app when???!

@ctietze Probably not for now, since there are already a lot of good apps such as Doppler and I think it can get very, very complex to support every file system, audio format, etc.

Especially because I don’t see a good business model in it, since most people who prefer offline music are even less willing to pay for a subscription.

@obrhoff fair point, wasn't asking in earnest :)

Once I start hating my life and upgrade to Tahoe, I'll def. check out Daft Music. Anything to get me away from Apple's app.
