Glad you’re enjoying it, that’s awesome. I used it a decade and more ago, but Spotify never worked out for me for a few reasons:
I discovered hi-fi music, have multiple good setups and for years Spotify was lower quality. It took them close to a decade to do FLAC quality.
I listen to a large variety of stuff from multiple countries, and Spotify would often lose rights to tracks I liked. At one point something like 10-15% of the music on my list disappeared.
I prefer to own my music in high quality, have bought a ton of albums and have around 1.2 TB of FLAC on my NAS.
I don’t like how artists get completely screwed on pay by Spotify.
My home setup has multiple budget hi-fi setups with passive speakers and mini-amps, and a 5.1 system in my living room. I’ve got a mini-PC server that runs Lyrion with Bliss mix plugin, Plex (for PlexAmp), and AssetUPnP. I still have Qobuz for streaming and discovery (and it integrates in Lyrion to mix with my local collection), but prefer local music overall.
