I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers…

    Amazon’s Prime Music? Most people have prime anyway, I think that comes with the ad version. Less than Spotify to switch to add free.

    If you still have access to any .edu email addresses, you can get student rates for Apple Music, and probably others.

      Ugh, yeah I haven’t considered that. We do have prime, but we’re really close to getting rid of it. We don’t watch Prime Video because it feels ridiculous to navigate and everything seems like an addon they want you to pay more for. I’d assume music is similar.

        No addons that I know of, but they do an annoying thing where they change which specific version/release/album of a song is available, so your playlists end up missing songs even though the song itself is still available and you have to correct the playlist.
