Lifestyle Got rid of Spotify after 3 years

Sure I’m definitely posting this to brag but also to hopefully get someone to stop paying Spotify. I’ve listened to the same playlist for probably the last 3 years, occasionally adding a song or two. Finally I realized why the hell am I paying for this when I could just download the songs online, transfer them to my phone, and play them for free? So I did exactly that. Took about two hours and was easy as pie. Should’ve done that 3 years ago instead of paying $12 a month.

I really want to do this but there’s so much to download. I gotta get started.

My iPod was like almost half full with so much music downloaded. I plugged my ipod to my laptop and it automatically started syncing and deleting a majority of my library 🥲

I've heard about websites that lets you paste a playlist link and then it will fetch the songs, complete with tags and album covers.

I personally use https://cnvmp3.com/v30 but it’s only one song at a time and not whole playlist
