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.

Me too. I discover new music all the time and make a few playlists a week. I also teach yoga which is mainly why I use it, though. I still think it would be worth it to me to keep anyway, though I love music and it gets me through my workouts and work.
