    It’s not just actual “white noise.” It’s many kinds of background noise like nature sounds, etc. Has to be recorded and often edited.

    It’s a legit product that makes sp0tify more valuable. They should embrace it but they’re fucking morons who hate both their artists and their audience.

    Fuck sp0tify a million times. I really hate them.

      Another solution then: automatically download/cache a user’s most frequently played tracks. I know downloading is a premium feature or whatever but they should consider it if it would save them money.

        Not just frequently played tracks. Sell me the MP3 or WAV or FLAC file, give most of the money to the artist, and let me transfer the files to any device I want. Anything less is too restrictive.

      What do you recommend to me so I can easily download and discover music that’s not spotify. You hate them but it seems they’re the top of the game right now

        Youtube music is pretty good on recommendations and its free with youtube premium so i think its a vastly more valuable service. (Or just use music revanced and get it for free)

        Bandcamp has recommendations

        Allmusic.com has “similar artists” and browse-by-genre and -style (and mood and theme etc)

        Everything you listen to on YouTube sends you down a new rabbithole

        Discogs.com has recommendations

        Allmusic is 100% my favorite place to find new recommendations. I get to actively hunt instead of being fed by an algorithm (though they have too many ads now).

        If you absolutely must be a $p0tify zombie who is mentally unable to find recommendations literally everywhere else in our music-obsessed world then you can still buy the albums you like to actually support the artists instead of basically pirating through a big tech app.
