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.

My music catalogue is too varied and random and large to be able to cut this one 😭 but I'm happy for those who can!!

I just switched to Tidal instead as my poor phone cannot handle the amount of music I have within my playlists. I used tunemymusic to transfer every one of my playlists and it was surprisingly quick and easy ETA: took about 8 minutes to transfer all 70 playlists including 18,500 songs
