I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers...

Will they be raising their rates in India? Because that's where Spotify thinks I live now.

No biggie. I never had subscriptions. I always thought it was a waste of money.

Is there any reasonable option that I can use on a Garmin watch standalone? I like to run without my phone and listen to a podcast and Spotify has been my go to.

Can your watch play mp3s? Most podcasts are available for download that way too.

[–] Kage520@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I'm pretty sure it can, but I don't actually know what subscription services or how it works to get podcasts downloaded. Spotify has been pretty easy. I guess it's time to look into this stuff. I have been doing this stuff legit for a while, but I guess I could get back on the high seas too if I have to. I just wanted to make sure the people making content were getting paid, but I think Spotify is bad for that too. So tired of good services getting slowly worse.

ive been using apple music for years, mainly like how for edm it tends to have highquality recorded live sets for all djs, and they are seperated instead of being one long continuous track, like youll get

  1. song
  2. song2/song3
  3. song4
  4. song5
  5. song6/song7/song8 Most convenient way to listen to them and get all the track names.
