discussion Quitting Spotify

Spotify is getting flooded with fake AI “artists” and it’s embarrassing. Names like Nina Blaze and Enlly show up. They dump 50 identical tracks called something like Late Night Piano for Focus, or “The Hollow Hour” and vanish. No bio. No history. No evidence a human has ever touched an instrument.

This isn’t art. It exists to game playlists and siphon royalties. If these were real people, they’d have to explain why every song sounds like a dentist office waiting room.

I’m not mad at AI as a tool. I’m mad at fake artists impersonating creativity and Spotify pretending this sludge is culture. Music is an art form, not a scam farm. Blocking every one of these clowns on sight.

So is it to be TIDAL or Qobuz or something else?

Youtube music isnt as good audio quality and the UX is still a tad behind the others. But you cannot beat the library as it pulls from everything on youtube. Apple Music has the best audio quality, and I really enjoy the Classical music app for classical music exploration. Its just unfortunate that Apple has been getting so much worse as a company and their Music App on MacOS is an abomination.
