If you're using Android, check out xmanager. It's basically a free cracked version of Spotify Premium.
I don't mind having ads while listening to plain radio. But on Spotify there were more ads than songs lately, so they forced me to buy a subscription. They did not reinvent the radio, they made it worse.
Good excuse to plug ListenBrainz. On ListenBrainz you can track the music you listen to whether you listen to local files or services like Spotify. ListenBrainz also supplies you with playlists to discover new music based on what you've listened to so far. It's a great solution for music lovers that don't want to depend on companies like Spotify.
Intellectual property should not be a thing. Music should be free. pay to go to a concert or support artists voluntarily.

One think that idgaf about paying for is Spotify or any music streaming service. We use a family plan anyway but even full price isn't great value for money.
At least the radio has someone that talks and occasionally interacts with the audience
This is completely unacceptable. I'm paying nothing and I want more from the service or else I'm taking my freeloading ass elsewhere! If all you other cheap bastards join me, collectively we'll show these corporate bigwigs and they'll be on their knees for our unpaid usage to return.
Seems I've picked the perfect time to get back into Mini-disc!
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
