Whac-a-mole.

Is that like guac-a-mole?
-
- Grab a few moles...
- Axe a knife into their stones...
- Twist the knife to get rid of those...
- Remove the moleskin with a spoon...
- 6, 7, 8, GUAC!!!

On mobile i use mutify, which simply mutes audio whenever an ad starts. Dead simple and works like a charm!
-
Same but different. I use spotube.

Still working on my end, but don't know for how long, if they kill it, it might be the time I pass to tidal or say fuck it and just start using again my old mp3 player app
-
There is Spotify revanced now!!! Its working fine for me Atm. Lots of revanced apps now. Search for revanced manager.
-
The client APK that I'm running appears unaffected.
-
XManager stopped working for me a while ago. Unsure why.

-
Revanced :)

Remember folks you are paying your enemy to fuck you...
then do pika face...
maybe learn the lesson: corpo is your enemy, don't pay them UNLESS THEY EARNED IT.
these slop cloud services are really stepping out of line and there is a solution that's better anyway.
-
Can still use Spicetify on desktop?
-
SpotEevee on iOS, can confirm that it still works.
Edit: the article finally loaded and saw that they’re fighting APKs. Good luck to them but iirc so far no developer was able to defeat piracy on Android.
-
lol goodluck
-
Vanced download manager. Revanced you tube music.
Spotify can suck dick.

This is why 20 years ago we had CDs and ripped them to hard drives. Streaming is a sham when you pay continually for access.
TIL: 20 years ago was just yesterday. Go buy CDs! They still make them!
Of course, but it's worth pointing out that PCs phased out the addition of ROM drives, which allowed the layperson to rip their content. Naturally, this allowed Apple and ilk to introduce streaming access, as though it was a fucking boon. No CD/DVD-Rom, no ports, just an enshittified processor, display, and a cloud. Because THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TELLING YOU YOU WANT.
I pirate basically everything, but streaming music isn't a sham. You pay for the catalogue and the recommendation feed. Getting anything close to an actual streaming platforms variety and convenience through piracy is hard and frankly not worth the effort.
...and the artists get peanuts.
I listen to a lot of music. like, a lot. and yet from my calculations the artist I've listened to the most during that year still didn't get even a dollar from my listens. and with how absolutely garbage the Spotify app has become, I've resorted to just archiving my entire collection online in lossless format and buying albums I particularly like on Bandcamp every now and then. it costs me less than an ongoing subscription because one purchase is just one or two month's worth of Spotify Premium, I get to keep the music even if the service goes down, I don't have podcasts that I don't want shoved in my face, and the artists I like actually get something from me.
lol, ok. You do realize that if you OWN your media you can just hand over a thumbdrive or send the files directly to a friend? CDs are also cheap to burn. You can build an entire library for the cost of a couple months' streaming access.
You are parroting marketing and those words are hollow.
I pay to continually rip music from them, best of both worlds.
You wouldn't be able to point me in the direction to learn about such things, would you?
Who pays for Spotify?

CDs were sooo much more expensive than streaming. I would spend $12 to $18 per CD in early 2000's dollars and buy multiple CDs per month.
This feels like trying to explain forests to someone who only wants to tell me about their favorite tree.
I get how the technology has changed. As an elder millennial, my entire life has been a constant shift of technology. From analog to digital, and back again- from betamax to DVDs, from 8 tracks to tapes to pocket rockers to mini discs to ipods. And including resurgences as people "discovered" the benefits of vinyl.
My point is that this new paradigm has shifted ownership of what we pay for away from consumers, to give gatekeeping power to corporate entities that can shut down, or shut off access, on a whim. And what's the ROI? Increasing access costs without ownership is just a more expensive lease.
I am simply arguing that physical media puts consumers in a greater position of control over the property they have paid for than streaming. And I am intimating that it's by design that technology "leaders" have moved away from allowing people to OWN what they buy.
