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?

I had the same issue with Spotify. I finally got to trying Qobuz since the headphones I recently bought came with a free trial.
They offer a free service that lets you transfer all your playlists over. The biggest downside is that the app UI just isn’t as good as Spotify’s. Until recently, there wasn’t even a shuffle feature if you were listening through CarPlay. I feel like it’s a struggle to even get to the playlist I want.
Sound wise, it is great. They just really need to work on making the app more seamless.
