    I know Plex gets a lot of crap here, but they have done me no wrong allowing me to simply play the music I like. Spotify is ruining artist discovery, which is exactly how radio became the shithole it is now. At least Pandora leads at artist discovery.

      Plex (or equivalent) pairs great with Bandcamp where you can download the music you buy in lossless quality.

      How is Spotify ruining discovery? Imo they’re absolutely crushing it, I’ve been loving their new DJ feature, used it exclusively on a four our car ride and the mix was awesome, and found a couple new bands. My only complaint is that their recent redesign and navigation patterns are a step down.

      Or do you mean in terms of the free plan?

      How expensive are albums typically? I’m kinda under the impression with the amount I just listen to random shit that gets recommended that wouldn’t work for me

      Sucks that Pandora left Australia with their “pick a song and we will create a radio station based on it”. I used to use that all the time. I even would’ve considered starting a subscription if it hadn’tve withdrawn from the country when I started getting income.
