I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”.

Why am I seeing ads if I’m already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

    Wow, I’m not gonna move to another subscription music app. If I see this, I’m back to mp3s and maybe something selfhosted.

      PlexAmp and Plex are a good option

      I’ve been downloading my spotify playlists as .mp3 so when they start pulling stunts like this I can simply just move elsewhere and lose nothing

        Are you using any tools to automate this?

          I find HQ audio version from YouTube and put the links into an app that downloads and converts them while adding correct artist, title, album etc. I don’t remember the name of the app right now but I can check if you’re interested
