Looking to migrate off of spotify. I will miss it for suggesting new songs and keeping up with new releases. What do you use to stay up to date, but off of paid services?

    Personally, I’d use Bandcamp. It’s mostly indie artists, but there’s a lot of good stuff on there. However, you can only play a song so many times per month before you need to buy it, but once you do that you own that song and can download it as an MP3 or FLAC. I also still use CDs.

    Then there are the streaming options:

    • MusicPiped is an alternative frontend to YouTube Music.
    • Nuclear is a desktop app which pulls music from YouTube, Bandcamp, Apple Music and others.
    • Olivia is a better desktop app, which does sort of the same thing
    • SpoTube is another option, but I haven’t tested it. However, it can access your Spotify playlists.
