The best Russian music service ever was allofmp3. Sadly long gone but fondly remembered.
YSK he's ukrainian and has since decades lived in the west, US/Shitrael.
He's a jewish zionist POS.
So he's a western oligarch, but don't let facts keep you from blaming 'the Russians'

This is good to know!
Signed up and paid for Deezer but it doesn’t work with my vpn (Mullvad) so I cancelled.
Now I’m in a similar situation as others in this thread - looking for a non-US music streaming, other than Spotify :-)
Qobuz baby! French owned, hi-res, lots of human-written articles. The library still isn't as big as some, bit they've made insane strides in the last year or two (in app UI too). And they pay out good rates - for a streaming service. 🙄
This plus bandcamp.

I switched to Deezer because I found reasons why all of the others were unethical. What would you suggest for a streaming service whose services are ethical?
Pirate everything. Pay directly to artists only when they allow you to do so (like direct sales on their website). If they don't allow you to make money go to them without also paying pigs then don't pay them at all.

Download MP3's or FLAC's
I'm autistic. If I'm not using some kind of a subscription service I will end up listening to the same one song on repeat literally thousands of times until I hate it. I would prefer to not hate songs I used to love. It's happened too much. I need some kind of service to introduce new music into my rotation.

There's barely any ethical options anymore...
Piracy!
The two sides of Lemmy, Just a few posts over users were raging that Spotify only pays out billions of dollars to artists, now you're suggesting you just take their work and don't pay for it at all
At this point in end stage capitalism, yes.
what is end stage capitalism? is this a euphemism for you can’t afford spotify?

wtf are russian billionaires doing supporting America's attack dog in the middle east anyway?
He's pro russia, they like that
And America is anti-Russia, so why would they support America's attack dog?
Trump and his party are ruining that horrible country rapidly so it's normal a great part of the world likes that.
The slightly less fascist dems keep their regime's fascism and horrible abuses for their many many foreign wars so the imperialism keeps running like clockwork because their voters who only care about themselves aren't bothered by what they do elsewhere and don't need to complain as they do now.
They are here every day crying about how they want to get back to their perfect democracy.
Genocide, regime changes, wars, kids in cages were OK right up to Trump, as long as it didn't inconvenience them.
Ok, but that doesnt answer my question. What does a Russian billionaire get out of supporting Israel?
Well to start he's not Russian but ukrainian and since decades a western oligarch spendig a lot of time in the US. (but always nice to smear Russia for everything imaginable)
Those countries are 2 birds of a feather and support eachother.
And he's a jewish zionist with a lot of business interests in Shitrael.
Have you tagged as sneaky Russian shill and you never seem to disappoint.

I literally switched from Spotify yesterday…
Everyone says bandcamp is a good alternative but the main added value from streaming services, for me, is discovery. I don’t think I can afford the time to go on bandcamp and download every song I like one by one. I would also be lost when in need to discover new music.

He also owns Warner Music, so revenue from that David Bowie or Charli XCX track you stream goes to his empire.

’s as bad as the shit Spotify does and has done IMO.
What hte hell did spotify do that made you so mad?
lol you linked to news.com.au, one of the big mega-evil newspapers in Australia owned by Rupert Murdoch, same guy who owns fox news
Also, cool, they're right next door to Russia, defence industry has been on the rise for a while now, some would say post around March 2022...
The spotify CEO invests in a defence company it's proper grasping at moral straws
