~~Apple Music web isn't working on Vivaldi, which settles it, I'll have to use Spotify on desktop I guess.

Yes, Widevine was working on Vivaldi.~~

turns out, you can just restart the computer and it'll work. Also used Chromium (which needs Widevine to be installed, chromium-widevine is the AUR package you need), but I fail to see how this'd affect Vivaldi.

#Linux

I'm not going to troubleshoot it or overthink about it. I need things that work reliably if I'm going to full-time Linux again and Spotify fits the bill.
@Flaky is Tidal not an option for you? It pays artists even more per stream than Apple Music. Spotify is not very generous and invests heavily in military.

@marcbull Not really. Spotify and Apple both excel pretty well "library-wise" (can save an unlimited or very large amount of songs) though Apple edges out on offline usage from its unlimited downloads, and their algorithm (it suggests a lot more metal than Spotify does).

Tidal is limited to 10,000 everywhere and I've hit that limit before years ago on Spotify with my Liked Songs. I've changed my relationship with streaming so I'm not doing that but the limit still bugs me too much.

Spotify as a company does suck, but they're overall the best for me especially on Linux. I do buy from Qobuz and Bandcamp very regularly as well.

@Flaky oh okay, I see. I’m still at Apple Music. But I’m still too deep trapped in the Apple ecosystem.

I didn’t know Tidal is limited to 10.000 and yes, that could probably a limit I might hit, too.

Yes, Bandcamp is a good place to support bands.

@marcbull I have both (for free thanks to family lol) so it's actually not too hard for me to switch between the two as and when, and honestly, it might be for the best, given I prefer Apple but Spotify is officially supporting Linux.

Ideally I wanna have an MP3 player but that's for future me to take a look at. Right now, I'm just getting my Niri set-up.
