The best band in the world. Just ask Pitchfork from 20 years ago.
For those who still want a streaming service: I switched from Spotify to Qobuz, no complaints.
Just make sure to set up your Qobuz before you delete your Spotify, as you can export your playlists. I messed up on that part.
- They lack Linux app, though, innit? Heard of 'em, pondered, researched… also, I'm on a family plan, and it's not up to me to handle that. So I'd probably have to pay for it meself, separately, adding overall family costs (and increasing mine, to no effect of others). Unless I get everyone to switch, and that might be hard
  
  Yeah, no Linux app, and no third party apps as far as I'm aware. I really liked the GTK app Spot. But for me, Spotify was no longer an option - I deleted my Spotify account before I found an alternative.
- I've tried a couple of other streaming services, but I keep coming back to Spotify for the Discover Weekly playlist. I've found so much news music I love through that.
  The equivalent on Tidal and YouTube Music just don't quite do it for me. Tidal's changes daily, so I don't get through it, and didn't really give me much variety, and YouTube's changes every time you open the app. Also, one of the first tracks it recommended was Bad Bad Leroy Brown, as if everyone on the planet hasn't already heard that. :D
  How's Qobuz for something like that?
  
  Not good at all. But they have cool write ups about artists/labels/genres that are pretty great.
The best band in the world. So I can't listen to this band's songs on the spotify premium apk app anymore, what a shame!
welp time to download their stuff now
