  • So what do they actually offer, on top of the work of creative people making music? Not much.

    OK, so I left Spotify for Navidrome a while back BUT. What Spotify sells isn’t music. Spotify sells curation and recommendations. Most people aren’t music lovers that want to hunt for cool new music. They just want a pre-generated list of songs that they’ll more or less like. That’s actually kinda huge.

    A recommendation engine is something I wish fediverse or open source would tackle. I’m on Navidrome now, but I’m definitely listening to way less music now—access isn’t an issue—I just haven’t had time to hunt around for new music. Investigating new bands takes time. On Spotify, you do it without even really thinking about it.

    I’ve tried the foam earplugs from a drugstore/chemist’s. They’re extremely difficult to put in properly

    There’s definitely a right and wrong way to put these in. I used to just stuff them in my ear because I didn’t think I needed instructions on how to use them. But, I recently learned I was doing it wrong. After watching this video, putting them on was way easier AND they also blocked out way more noise.

    But, yeah, they do get dirty after a few uses. Although, they’re way cheaper than Loop… soo… idk.
