Yeah sorry for coming on strong, but I’ve got a lot of resentment for Spotify. It was good, but it’s becoming enshittified along with everything else.
Honestly, there are alternatives that don’t require a subscription at all. Most of them don’t allow local downloading, which used to be inconvenient, but now we have unlimited mobile data, so it would be so easy to switch.
For the record, I like supporting artists, which is why I do buy physical media from independent record labels and the like, which is a much better way to support them than Spotify.
The tasker idea is worth researching, though. I’ll look into it. At the end of the day, it would be really nice if I didn’t feel compelled to switch. I’ve put a lot of time and effort into my playlists.
Do you have any recommendations for alternatives? I remember looking into it a bit ago and not really finding one I liked, but would be interested in making a switch. EDIT: on iOS, if that matters

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I do a lot of listening on my work phone (the iOS one), might just need to settle for doing more media playing on my old Android.
