Spotify gives up on trying to charge for song lyrics
You won’t need a Premium subscription after all.
Next time it will be like subscribe to Spotify Premium to see what song is playing right now!
switched to Tidal after the price hike. Has 99% of the artists I listen to
After the last price hike I gave up on my Spotify subscription.
ETA: I moved to Tidal. I was able to import all of my likes, and my playlists.
I moved to Apple Music. It’s gotten a ton better in terms of content and UX since launch and I got tired of Spotify pulling bullshit like this news, the ridiculous audiobook “feature” they charge all users for, price hikes, no standard lossless audio…
I've had Spotify for a while now and I had no idea such a feature even existed. If I ever want to know song lyrics, I just Google it. Would have never even thought to look for them in Spotify.
Having them in the app has the advantage that they can be synchronized with the song that is playing.
They've started adding AI music to the catalog by themselves via fake accounts, resulting in them keeping 100% of the revenue, as there's no artist they need to pay any longer. Now they can move away from paid lyrics, to preserve some of their public image.
That's interesting! I hadn't heard of it. Can you provide a source for that?
