I strongly believe that Spotify should be removed as a suggestion and added to the incumbent/boycott category due to the reasons already mentioned in the red warning box. I urge everyone to cancel their subscriptions and when you cancel they will ask why, please mention the reason you canceled is because Spotify gave billions to Joe Rogan who’s basically a lie and propaganda factory.
Spotify is a pillar of support for the Trump regime. Spotify’s CEO donated $150000 to Trump and hosted brunch for him. He also did the typical billionaire hissy fit threatening to leave Sweden unless they make tax cuts. He’s just another right-wing billionaire and not worth your support.
I don’t know if there is a tool for Spotify but there was for deezer and tidal. I used the tidal downloader for some, some are vinyl rips done by a friend, and some of the rarer ones from the musician’s site or other means. One thing I’ve noticed is bonus tracks in lidarr aren’t always on streaming platforms.
I find a lot of bands I follow upload deluxe versions of albums on Spotify.
But if you would: is the Tidal tool official or “nah 🏴☠️”? 😅
its not official but I like to think of it like instead of paying and downloading the same song again every time I listen to it, I pay and download it once, then leave a playlist on loop on a spare tablet so artists get their listen counts. downloader was called tidal dl ng iirc
also the deluxe versions usually exist in other formats like vinyl or cd but I found on streaming services sometimes the last 1-3 tracks are just not there, or some weird cases where on streaming the song exists but on youtube or something there is a loger version
Cool, thanks for that info
