Definitely not looking back having switched to Qobuz for streaming music. The quality is higher and the pay-per-stream beats most competitors as far as I can make out.

People lament the loss of podcasts but I never liked Spotify for podcasts, preferring to just get an RSS feed and use the podcast app of my choice.

Also a shout out to Le Chat, which is super fast and entirely adequate for everything I used to use ChatGPT for. ChatGPT grabs all the headlines with Deepseek and Gemini close behind but nobody outside my circle seems to have heard of Le Chat.

Losing podcast is in itself a good reason to drop Spotify.

Screw them and their ridiculous attempt to become the podcast chokepoint.
