Oh no, they're increasing the price from free to free! How will I ever manage the price increase!?

Sounds like they need more money to purchase more podcasts to put behind their walled garden
To the people who are talking about Spotify not offering high quality, what's wrong with Spotify Premium's 256kbps AAC? That's pretty dang high quality...
My Spotify bill literally just went through. Not sure if the family plan is going up as well, but it looks like I escaped it for a month if it does.
Now I'm even more glad to have ditched the streaming sub model to buy music instead. Of course new releases may follow and go up by $0.10 per song.
Is the service you are using allow you to download the music DRM free, or is it only streamable?
If it’s the latter, might want to reconsider. Just like movies purchased on these platforms (Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, …), the license holder of the intellectual property (IP), usually the record/music company, can pull their content from these platforms at any time and you will not be reimbursed.
I get most of my music off of Bandcamp which is DRM free. The catch it that Bandcamp is mostly independent or small artists. For artists that are not on Bandcamp I usually buy MP3 albums on Amazon which are DRM free.
On this note how do I make a list of all of my music that I have liked to find on the high seas later? Ask for a friend.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
