This is a whole enshitification process right there. After a few months Deezer will start removing content that you will have access to over the winamp subscription, or winamp will pull an Amazon and insert ads into the paid subscription, call it basic subscription, and ask for more money for premium without ads.

Fuck this, I'm fine with my navidrome.

All while selling your personal data because you agreed to that when it was buried in that giant EULA/Privacy policy/etc. that you didn't read

What? No, I read every single part of them...

Said no-one ever 🤣🤣

Lol yep.

Though lately I just give the URL to an AI to read and call out red flags. Sometimes there's an email address buried in the legalese to opt out of data sharing (and the LLM can draft an email to copy-paste). Though, at that point, I've usually lost too much trust in the service and find alternatives.

Yo…..ho…..

Edit. Jokes aside I am with you. I still have my mp3s that I ripped from 20+ years ago. The best thing to do is go back to physical media.

I've been looking for a solid DAP for my car playing and afternoon walks, bit those things, at least the good ones, are super expensive. Still, better than paying for subscriptions though.
