A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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.

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?

If you're up to the challenge, you can run a "Subsonic" server at home for streaming your own music, including all of your hi-fi downloads from Bandcamp.

I've been very pleased with Navidrome, which is a server that implements the Subsonic API (so you can use any Subsonic desktop or mobile client). I basically have my own private Spotify that I can stream to my phone, and it's got all the weird music I've accumulated over the years.
