I currently have Spotify, mainly because I signed up a while ago and never really bothered to explore alternatives.
I pay €13 every month these days which I feel is quite a lot. I was already thinking of getting a few friends together and sharing a family plan, which would make it cheaper. But if I’m doing that I might as well take a proper look at my options.
What are some good, hopefully ethical, European alternatives? I know Spotify is from Sweden so good in that regard (?). Deezer is French, but also mostly owned by some American investment firm. If I can believe what I read they pay artist a bit more, which sounds like a good thing, but I don’t want my money to mostly go to American investors…
Any advice is highly appreciated!
Adding a +1 for radio-browser
I’m still using RadioDroid even though it doesn’t seem to be maintained at the moment… and even a fork is losing momentum, so I didn’t make the jump.
Maybe I’ll try Transistor…
I have been a Transistor user for a long time, the releases are always solid - the dev chose to shut down external contributions (bug reports/code fixes) on their Codeberg repo a few years back, so you kinda get what you get. No shade, it works great. https://codeberg.org/y20k/transistor
