Spotify to raise prices in September (lemmy.relayeasy.com)

I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers...

I cancelled it when they started to crack down on family plans with separate households. It just wasn't worth the money to me anymore. I wonder how much more price hikes the remaining customers are going to tolerate. At some point it becomes cheaper to just outright buy music..

Probably is cheaper for a lot of people who just listen to the same stuff week after week

Is there any reasonable option that I can use on a Garmin watch standalone? I like to run without my phone and listen to a podcast and Spotify has been my go to.

[–] gravitywell@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Can your watch play mp3s? Most podcasts are available for download that way too.

[–] Kage520@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I'm pretty sure it can, but I don't actually know what subscription services or how it works to get podcasts downloaded. Spotify has been pretty easy. I guess it's time to look into this stuff. I have been doing this stuff legit for a while, but I guess I could get back on the high seas too if I have to. I just wanted to make sure the people making content were getting paid, but I think Spotify is bad for that too. So tired of good services getting slowly worse.

People pay corporations for music? Morons.
