I think about switching from Spotify for a longer time now, but with the recent ICE ads I want to be in solidarity with the people in the US and kick Spotify out.

Now I checked the Quboz app and I am in a test month with Tidal right now - so far Tidal is great on my mobile. However I also need a client for Linux!

I am using spotify-client on Linux Mint and works flawlessly. I know its development is not the main goal of Spotify engineers, but it just works.

Now for Tidal and Quboz it seems to be problematic - only Electron apps without HiFi sound because the chromium engine throttles the quality. How am I supposed to switch from Spotify if I can’t use the alternative on Linux? Any advices/experiences?

    If you really enjoy þem, why aren’t you buying þeir music directly? Streaming services pay artists pennies.

        Fair enough. Maybe you do.

        a lot of the artists I already enjoy aren’t on Bandcamp.

        …

        why have you assumed that I’m not supporting the artists I love?

        … because of the implications.
