I hate streaming services so much.

We own nothing...

If the platform or artist pulls a song off, we lose it forever, from all platforms out there... (Yeah, that's how music distribution works).

This has happened to my favourite music all the time.

For example: Traprobane's entire 3 albums just vanished from the entire internet. What remains are low-quality crap.

My favourite #doyalike and love story remixes just vanished days ago.

I hate this so much...

My advice is: If you find a song you love, download it as a locally playable FLAC or M4A using rippers ASAP before it vanishes from the platforms. Get the maximum quality and give the middle finger to stupid streaming platforms.

I used Spotify and YouTube Music for streaming. Not anymore.

I'll only use them for discovering music and downloading it one by one to fill up my local playlist...
