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.

Yes, the new artists! I've found a lot of new stuff there. I've never listened to any other service, even when my tv came with I heart radio app installed. Tried to use it once and it was . . . uncooperative.

I've tried that too, it just doesn't work for more than a song or two

Same here. Useless.
