I got caught in a crazy loop of Spotify resetting my password once a week. They offered no help except telling me my 40 char generated password was "not secure enough". So, I cancelled and deleted the account; fuck em.

Back to the high seas I guess.

How do you high seas music ?

YoutubeDL or spotdl for actually acquiring music. you tube for some discovery, but really have not found a good one for discovery. Spotify was good for that, but getting locked out of my account on a weekly basis(even free tier) is a hard NO for me. Spotify is a bait and switch scam now; they advertise/tout you can use your account on multiple devices, but that is definitely not true.

The system they have for account sharing is a little strange, at least with the family plan, where instead of having everyone on one account (like what netflix does/did) you instead have to link different accounts to the one that pays for the subscription.
