I'm in the music scene for my region, and I pay my share to the artists I enjoy, listen to, go and see live.
But as far as general listening, yea I need a better - more free - way of consuming music. I just don't know if there exists a service that lets you listen on demand, recommends similar music, and lets you build playlists/queues on demand.
I guess that's what I'm looking for before cancelling my sub
I don't mind paying for the music. What I do mind, however, is the kind-of hostage situation that I am in with Spotify. I understand that they have costs that need to be covered. (Though, podcasts - especially exclusive ones - are NOT what I ordered.) I want to be in control of my data, and be able to easily transition to competitors and/or self-hosted solutions.
I guess one of the more difficult things to have "free" is the music that could be of interest to you, but you do not already own it.
I was contemplating to go back to reading album reviews and music news myself, but that seems like a larger time invest.
