    I stopped using Spotify over a decade ago. Now I just use Pandora which is actually still pretty good. And occasionally I’ll use YouTube music if I want to check out a new band or something. But Spotify is pretty usless.

        The Pirate Bay is my favorite alternative. You should try it out. The library is enormous, and the monthly subscription charge is negligible. It even works on all major platforms!

        I know it’s unpopular, but I have YT premium and use YT music since it’s included. It’s expensive for a streaming service, but it’s also the only streaming subscription I have.
