Spotify works pretty well for me.  It's not perfect, but I fill the gaps with local files, which sync to my phone, and it plays well with my car.  

I keep the remainder of my music in FLAC and vinyl, but Spotify is much more convenient for the car and work.  I keep a 1400+ mega playlist that I use as my own personal radio station.

Hey, get with the times grandad!

Yeah the web-app's not amazing, but the desktop and mobile apps work quite nicely in my experience. Why are you even fucking with the web-app?

It's not that hard to find and listen to an album. Maybe an extra second of scroll/clicking.

It does lack depth in some catalog areas, but can be supplemented with personal files.

One of the things I like best about it is the algorithms for suggesting similar music. You can make a radio station out of any song, album, artist, or playlist.

I like putting together small playlists of songs with a similar feel and seeing what new stuff it points me to.

I'm still happy with audiogalaxy

But then you'd have nothing to complain about. Oh better carry on using it then.

 

fuck off. I can be critical of whatever I want to, including your stupid post, which is bad

 

sorry mate, it's just a bit of banter, I'm not really too fussed about your gripe with Spotify

Or even better, http://tsrono.bandcamp.com

wholeheartedly agree with the bandcamp recommendation.

I also use soundcloud and an app called IndieShuffle.

otherwise certain dodgy Russian torrent sites.

I'm an album guy myself and Spotify hasn't been a problem in any way whatsoever.

I am using the desktop app, it takes like 15 seconds from startup to even get to a song selection, even my local files, and then another 5-10 to actually be able to play a song after that.

after startup the speed and responsiveness is tolerable (as long as I don't try to use search) but the interface is still really bad and ugly.

a desktop application should look like the rest of your OS, not like a phone app. I hate the discord client for this reason too but there's not really an easy alternative to that.

nay!

it’s not in the releases thing.

if I click on [and more] the songs from the album show up, but they don’t play. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've never used spotify. Does the bandcamp app have chromecast audio support yet? I'd use it so much more if it did

Are you on free Spotify? Looks like this to me...

I am but the issue is that the album apparently isn’t available in Germany for some probably really dumb reason

Oh lol, damn

I don't think so, the Bandcamp app is a bit old school in its level of what it can do and support in regards to the 'major' music apps, at least on Android. 

Man I love Spotify.  Great for throwing on the App on the Cellphone and just letting it roll.  I'm just too fucking old and lazy now to pick and play every little thing I want to hear.  Artist radio is pretty awesome, just pick an artist that completely fits your mood at the moment and throw that shit on and you are golden.  You may have to skip sometimes but if you have premium that really doesn't matter.

Also started a Chill IDM / Ambient / Electronic playlist-- Get on it!

Chill and Vibe Tunes

ive posted in the are music streaming services ethical thread - but since this is the current space to vent frustrations:

it does annoy me how seemingly everybody who comes over to my place for social gatherings expects to add to a spotify playlist or is incredulous when i say im just playing albums from a collection.  i have zero problem with people using and enjoying spotify, but it seems to have made an inordinate amount of people (hopefully not you lot) forget that there are other ways to play music and streaming is not required
