If you're Apple users Music isn't too shabby
The Music client for Mac is still an excellent music manager and player and beats Spotify by a mile despite how visibly much they've let it bitrot* since it was iTunes. It's a shame neither the mobile app nor the web client has anywhere near the capabilities.
* for example, what the fuck is that stupid unresizable header that takes up half the window with mostly empty space and doesn't scroll off the screen anymore if you set a playlist view to "as Songs"
Works fine on Android as well (which is weird considering how bad Apple software can be on non-Apple devices). Just need to create an Apple ID and you're set.
Testing out the trial right now and it's pretty great so far.
UI is way better than Spotify as well (IMO), plus lossless for the same price as current Spotify Premium. (And it also has a max cache size limit option, so even playing a shit ton of lossless isn't going to eat up more space than what you select.)
Getting my fucking Spotify library and playlists I've built over the years on here is going to be a long nightmare, though.
https://www.tunemymusic.com is a great service for migrating libraries.
Nice, that looks incredibly helpful. Thanks for the rec!
