Cancelled Spotify. Seems Spotify has gone more towards podcasts, with their music taking the trunk. Even the PC UI has become terrible, full of "recommended" kak that no-one has any interest in.
Reading on the Spotify forums, this has become a major issue with users and Spotify's response: "We are not planning to work on this anytime soon"
I switched over to Tidal, now they have two options from the usual
R60 (HiFi) a month to the
R120 (HiFi Plus) a month option.
Originally Tidal had only the Phone app, there is a PC app available, a bit bulky but very similar in UI as with the Spotify App.
But, never really realized how bad the sound quality is on Spotify until the switch to Tidal.
Now, if you are using R100 headphones, well there might not be a big difference between the two options.
Yes, both options does allow offline listening.
Tidal does have a good selection with I think 70million plus songs and an afterthought selection of some Podcasts.
