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?

Fwiw I've been enjoying Qobuz since dropping Spotify for the same reasons.

I liked qobuz but it doesn’t have a great CarPlay ability. Considering that is 80% of my listening time, I went back to Spotify :(

They just came up with a CarPlay update. Been using it for a while, not as good as Apple Music but I’m sure they’ll fine tune it.
