This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I’m more bothered by there being ads inserted in podcasts when I’m a paying customer tbh
Wait what. I know some platforms for managing podcasts like Anchor shove in ads, sometimes even mid sentence, but this is the first I hear of Spotify itself inserting them
This is what made a lot of people I know stop using Spotify for podcasts.
My coworker told me they were listening to a podcast, and while the podcasts host were mid ad read for their sponsor, Spotify put an ad in. So he got an ad during an ad.
Thanks, Xzibit.
Can confirm. I got annoyed with it and moved away from Spotify for podcasts a year or two ago. #NoRegrets
Yeah even on free I never got a Spotify add on a podcast. Those were the podcasts themselves putting ads in.
https://www.audiobookshelf.org/ For your podcasts
https://www.navidrome.org/ for your music
https://symfonium.app/ for playback of both
https://github.com/spotbye/SpotiFLAC for stealing raw FLACs from fucking Tidal using Spotify metadata because I guess their shit is about as secure as a picnic basket held closed with an anti-bear ziptie.
Does this have a 10/15sec skip button?
Yeah it's very customizable too. The audiobookshelf support is in an early experimental stage though, but it does work
Thanks, Gonna check this one out then, having multiple play queues sounds awesome. Currently I'm having to use VLC and blackplayer so I can go back and forth between podcasts and music without losing my place.
It's definitely worth at least checking out the free trial, it's the best music player I've ever used on any platform. The dev is also very active and there are new features dropping constantly
I don't think so. I use audiobookshelf's companion app on my phone, which does. audiobookshelf manages all the subscriptions and pulling and whatnot, it seems to do a decent job keeping me sane on the commute.
And you're sponsoring fascists..
That's why i quit spotify.
Are they inserted ads or ad reads by the podcast themselves?
Inserted ads, although in my experience they’re placed by the podcast network rather than Spotify.
