    “So everyone in the couple can enjoy…”
    But there’s only two people, you said it’s a couple???
    Does this read weird to anyone else?

      They’re trying (and failing) to be cute. Like saying “all two of us”. “everyone in the couple”, because it’s called Duo. Personally, if I had Spotify, this ad would be the last straw to make me cancel.

    Don’t worry, if you switch to Duo the messages don’t stop. They just change to “Upgrade now to a Family Plan!”

        They might summom up a family super version and limit the family plan to 3 people, so you need super if you have 2 kids lol

          Ah Family Plus.

          I guess if they want to listen on a different IP addresses, you’ll need Family Plus Mobility

    Use Spotube, a Spotify client that’s available via F-Droid or it’s official site

    That’s all. Enjoy free Spotify premium like user experience. You can also log in with your already existing Spotify acc for convenience

        I had the same Wow! experience when I first heard about this app. One can’t literally tell which apps UI is the official one lol

        Glad to hear others like it too!

      I don’t know what all of these are but surely it can’t be at search some song and tap and listen?

        Of course not. You need other software to rip your music from physical media, or potentially multiple other software to search and download them. You’ll need additional software to host everything over the internet. You’ll probably want a computer to act as a server. You’ll very likely need a private VPN to be able to access it over the public internet. You’ll need some networking knowledge to set everything up. Hope you’re familiar with docker. And afterwards you’ll have to manage everything yourself once they are up.

        Even if you don’t search for new music very often it’s a lot of work. If you care about being able to discover new music then it’s pretty bad. There’s a reason music streaming exploded in popularity so quickly. This shit is not easy or convenient to self-host. At all. If you’re already selfhosting a bunch of stuff, then it might be worth it to add this stack on top of your existing stuff. But absolutely not worth building anything from scratch just for this.

          I already self host and have some of those services, and do always on vpn. I just haven’t found a reliable method to rip my Spotify playlists since the API went down. I used to just cron job it, so my plex was in sync and use plexamp on my phone.

            I personally used spotdl when I wanted to transfer my music off of Spotify. It does unfortunately only download from YouTube which means its not 100% successful, it missed a handful of songs for me and 1 or 2 had an incorrect version altogether (like 10 hour loops, etc.). Overall it was like more than 99% correct for my playlist of around 2000 songs though, and its super easy to use especially in either a python or shell script since its a python library with a cli built in. There are definitely other options I don’t know about, some of which are probably better tbh, but spotdl has been good enough for me personally at least.

      I stop paying for a sub when they went exclusive with rogan. Then deleted my account when they gave money and praise to trump. I’m trying to get out of as many things as I can that support the fascist us government

      I download straight from Tidal. Tben use a navidrome server to stream my music anywhere I go with my own library.
