Spotify has updated the desktop app with plenty of visual improvements and new features, like a “now playing” view that gives you immediate access to merchandise and tour dates.
Sounds like a good time to switch to resonate. There’s (sadly) not that many artists there yet, but the pricing model is really cool (and doesn’t exploit tne artists as much). And I guess the only way a platform like this will get more artists, is if it gets more listeners :)
I’ll add to the minority that likes those changes. I don’t use the desktop version that often and was pleasantly surprised :D I like having the library on the side. Especially that I do have quite a wide screen.

Dont forget that Spotify abuses its market position by basically milking smaller artists dry.
Does anybody know of a good alternative that doesnt involve either storing hundreds of albums on CD or piracy?
Bandcamp is a nice alternative, but much more limited to smaller artists and labels.
i have made a point of paying for music that i DJ with for over a decade. bandcamp as a website has been a huge part of that. it’s bloody amazing.
