FYI: You can have unlimited advertisement free music if you actually pay for a subscription*. Or pirate.
^*^not necessarily true for podcasts, in which the podcaster could have ads baked into the recording.

So stop ducking using the service. How else is it ever going to change?
Also, stop fucking using it
I used to get so annoyed at the auto correct to ducking but after a niece and nephew were introduced as variables I've found ducking the most effective sentence enhancer that doesn't provoke a parent teacher conference for my brother lol
Stop using services that don't care about their users for
fuck
's sake
It's a trap. Its been that way as long as I can remember. If any music service offers a longer ad for uninterrupted music, don't do it.
Idk how it can even be considered a trap or legal its straight up false advertising, textbook definition
I tried YouTube today for the first time in years. Its unwatchable. The frog must have been slowly boiling for years to have so many people accept what Youtube is now. Just wow.
I managed to watch about 10 minutes but had about 5 ads during that time, taking up several minutes of my time. It broke my focus and I forgot what the video was about.
Back to Newpipe.
I can only watch it with revanced and sponsorblock, otherwise I'd just watch some of my old downloaded stuff.
I've actually subscribed to premium. YouTube + YT Music.
Yeah I have a few colleagues that did that too. But I dont want to support big tech by being paying user.
Ublock origin + sponsor block makes YouTube entirely watchable and you don't have to fund this horrible company

My sympathy
Just wait until you hear about piracy!
Use spotube or simpmusic. Its not like spotify actually pays their artists jackshit. Just make sure to send small artists a few bucks if you really like their stuff
- IOS; Sideloading EeveeSpotify.
- Windows; Specitify.
- Android; ReVanced.
Thereβs no reason to waste your time on ads.
God why does this not have more upvotes and why isn't it the first comment. I literally was screaming how someone could be on here and not possibly know of the various ways to get around shitty ads.
YT music with ReVanced is a fucking dream, I love it. Spotify is probably also great. Didn't even know about the iOS and Windows apps, but I hated iPhone and finally ditched Windows for Fedora so I don't keep track of those as much.
But seriously they have so many options, especially on Android. Like there's a FOSS app or patched option for literally everything on there.
Last time I checked, uBlock blocked ads on Spotify.
Last time I checked, uBlock blocked ads on Spotify.
Yeah, your right. uBlock Origin block advertisement on the browser. However, Spicetify blocks advertisement within the desktop app and allows for multiple add-ons/ extension plus customizing your entire app.
For downloading there's lucida.to
This is one service I pay for and never had had to worry about ads. I can skip around, download and work it just like my offline music with no differences
I'm also paying for Spotify however I still get ads when listening to podcasts. Really bothering
And now they're showing locked episodes, which drives me up the fucking wall. Seems to only be with all the podcasts that SirusXM is buying up as of late, which unfortunately make up a good chunk of what I listen to.

Those arent spotify ads, they're the ads from the podcast. To my knowledge unless its a "spotify exclusive" all they are doing is fetching the RSS feed for you, not paying the creator anything regardless of your subscription status

Laughs in Navidrome
I can't get good automatic playlists on navidrome. Nor any good way to automatically mix my collection satisfactory....
Not entirely automatic, but I found that Navidrome (at least when you use a third party client like Feishen or Symfonium) has smart playlists. I use that to write some simple queries like:
By genre:
- Ambient
- Downtempo
By listening habits:
- All Favorites
- Rediscover Old Favorites
- Last 100 Songs Played
- Never Listened To
- Top 100 Songs
and so on.
Obviously, the genre smart playlists assume your music has Genres tags. I use Picard (with the Last.fm genre plugin) for that.
tell me about Picard? I heard of that... Bit never tried it. My collection come from lidarr
It's a GUI tool that gives you the ability to tag songs in bulk. It uses the MusicBrainz database to provide relevant metadata, and also provides user plugins (like the Last.fm plugin I mentioned)
I get my songs in batches (through Bandcamp and youtube-dlp) every couple of months, so GUI is fine for me.
However, I'm seeing a CLI alternative called https://beets.io/ ? Apparently it is a CLI tool that also queries the MusicBrainz database (or Beatport, or Discogs), and apparently integrates well with Lidarr. I never tried it, however.
The only reason I would listen to 5 minutes of adverts is if I had no way of stopping them.
