Spotify is one of those subscriptions that is 100% worth it. Rather listen to HQ audio than youtube vids made in iMovie

Okay, THAT is Hacker News worthy.
To be fair it would be more HN worthy if they managed to reverse engineer the DRM of Spotify to create a custom client without the Spotify library (which only works for Premium users)
Would be far less worthy if, by the time we get to the README, we only get to see a take down notice from Github. Instigated by Spotify for breach of not sure what.

Nesrin Sipahi is a far cry from a small indie artist that relies on support by their fan base. And there are many options to buy her music as physical copies directly from her labels. Of course it’s fine to use Spotify to listen to music and find new artists - I’m saying the worst way to pay artists that rely on their fan base for income.

This is what you originally said. > If you care about the artist here pay them directly either through bandcamp I responded to this > I assure you that every artist that wants to make money will have set up _something_ Why did you bring 'far cry from a small indie artist ' into the picture all of sud…
Of course a celebrated artist with a 50+ year career that is a national icon won’t be reliant on digital distribution…
I think that would be obvious to anyone that wants to have a conversation in good faith.

#444For something that puts "not using electron" so prominently I didn't expect it using flutter. I admit I don't really have much experience with it, I thought it was like react-native (but better?), still far from truly native apps. Im here to being told I'm wrong. I would love to, specially since we can transpile clojure to dart
Yep. This app uses 230mb of RAM on my machine compared to Spotify that uses 208mb. But it's definitely more performant than my hideously slow Electron Spotify client. I'm really done with Electron. I hope this shaming of Electron apps continue because I can't stand this degradation of software. The only Electron app of recent that had good performance is Notion Calendar (used to be Cron). Although, Notion itself is p…
Plume looks nice! How does the sync work? Local first rocks, but I do want some redundancy as well. Are there plans for multiplayer or sharing?

I had the same thing happen on a flight last year so when I got home I tested every streaming app I could think of and a bunch of them removed their download feature from the last time I used it or they put it behind a connection requirement like you said. I forget if there's a second one, I know Netflix says you can download on its ad but I don't have netflix to test. The one I know for sure that you can download an…
It's just gotten to the point where I optimize for laziness. When I'm at home I watch on the streaming apps for the most part, because it's easy. When I'm traveling, I download tv shows I think I want to watch and stick it in VLC on my iPad. The exception being movies from the apple TV app. I have had no problems renting and downloading the video through that. Maybe they fixed it, but ever since I downloaded a bunch…
You know what got me last time. Ipad offloading my apps.
I hadn't touched my ipad in 4-6 months I only use it on flights and I opened it up and had almost no apps. I might have actually had no apps but the apple apps if thats a thing. I couldn't open ANYTHING. Then I got to the airport for my next flight and was franctically running around hoping to find a guest wifi network..
That's disabled now.

#446As an aside, I think YouTube Music is superior to Spotify in terms of music catalog. You get "everything on Spotify" (high quality audio) plus the YouTube videos (eg mixes that are put up) in a battery-friendy player (possibility to go audio only on these videos). Of course minimizable with YT Premium. I believe that the discoverability algo is much better with YouTube Music as well, which is important to me... I pay…

YouTube is also better if you're looking for original mixes and not the remaster, as well as for anything out of print.
And live stuff. Bands that allow fans to patch into the audio board, or stream, their concerts live on SiriusXM, get them all uploaded to YouTube.
Also, covers by random people. Some of my favorite music is basically just a dude doing an acoustic guitar cover of a great song.

#449Nifty. Please be aware that this is not a "spotify client" per se. It gets the data from Spotify, and plays the audio from YouTube. It's an interesting invention, and worthy of the first page, if you ask me.
Not really suggesting Spotify pays their artists well but surely YouTube is worse, right?

Thanks! One of the next features we'll on work will be support for arbitrary folders (basically all notes will be plaintext inside folders, currently they are all plaintexts but inside a local database), so you could sync your notes with any cloud provider (e.g., Dropbox). We'll also provide our own built-in sync option. There are plans for sharing notes, but not quite for real-time collaboration, if that's what you mean by "multiplayer". There are plans for collaboration in the future, but not real-time - I just don't think real-time collaboration is good for text-based formats.
