I currently have Spotify, mainly because I signed up a while ago and never really bothered to explore alternatives.

I pay €13 every month these days which I feel is quite a lot. I was already thinking of getting a few friends together and sharing a family plan, which would make it cheaper. But if I’m doing that I might as well take a proper look at my options.

What are some good, hopefully ethical, European alternatives? I know Spotify is from Sweden so good in that regard (?). Deezer is French, but also mostly owned by some American investment firm. If I can believe what I read they pay artist a bit more, which sounds like a good thing, but I don’t want my money to mostly go to American investors…

Any advice is highly appreciated!

    For folks looking for a great Linux app for Qobuz,

    https://github.com/vicrodh/qbz

    Its got lyrics, device switching, DAC or other audio settings, profile sign-in, playlists.

    I’ve been using the website app for a long term, and it’s been great. But I like that the qbz app provides lyrics, and seems to provide better audio quality too.
