So the better solution is to set up Navidrome, "acquire" 1TB of music. Look for discographies, top 10k, stuff you like. Use a reverse proxy to a cheap VPS or Cloudflare. (Ssh port forward from Navidrome to VPS 127.0.0.1, and have nginx handle reverse proxy. Put it in systemd unit to autoreconnect)

Then you can listen to whatever you want.

Im all for paying for good content or service. But I quit paying for companies to abuse me.

Is it possible to accurately identify "AI generated" songs? Or do they have to be labeled?

I think with stem separation,you could potentially train a model. But the latest Suno is really good. You can still kind of "hear" it. I had a song come into my playlist. "The Dad Bods Pop Punk". I have a keen ear, and I listened to the song a couple of times when I realized it. When I went to the artist it was a bunch of AI-generated pictures and listening to the other ones it's clear it's AI.

Youtube is being overloaded by such playlists. They become obvious after listening to them for a bit. There is something jarring in them which makes them kinda annoying.

Seems like a stretch, no? How are streaming music companies abusing users?

This is a poorly titled HN submission. This isn't what's happened, if you read the post - A user asked about being able to do this. Spotify claimed it isn't currently a feature, however they have a feature request that the requester can add their voice to if so inclined.

Yeah or I could just use Apple Music or Tidal or any other competing services

Also: the answer marked as a solution that says it's not a feature is not even from a Spotify employee.
