I have never understood the appeal of Spotify (they just raised their prices again)

thepiratebay10.org + qbittorrent + itunes from 2016 (can be downloaded from the Apple website) + iPod classic 160gb (can be bought off ebay easily enough) with new battery and SSD replacement of hard drive (just go to your local device repair guy and they will do it). Sure you'll pay a certain startup cost but it's peanuts compared to a lifetime Spotify subscription. Old iPods go hard as well, if you don't drop them too much they work pretty much forever. I've used mine daily since 2014. You can get all the metadata off Wikipedia as well and it's nice to be able to curate your own digital music collection. I like to make playlists on iTunes and record them onto cassette tapes and gift them to people. If they don't have a cassette tape player I just buy them one. It's a really effective way of flirting.

Edit: Fucking hell your comments are brutal. I just came here to try and talk about one of my hobbies with other people who might understand

Edit2: Thank you all for your recommendations I really do appreciate them. This still feels like that time I posted my pizza sauce recipe on r/cooking and got mass downvoted because of my suggestion that homemade sauce is way better than jarred sauce and people just focused on the fact that it’s easier to use jarred sauce and I was like uh I thought this was a hobby subreddit my bad lol
