After using Spotify for over a decade I moved to Qobuz, mostly on principle. Most of my library was transferred.

The one thing I miss is the recommendations, especially as I like music that isn’t very mainstream. It might be that Spotify’s algorithm is better than Qobuz, or it has a huge amount more data.

I've tried several other music platforms, but nothing has really expanded my musical horizons like Spotify's Discover Weekly. Even 5-6 years ago, most of the electronic music I listened to was relatively mainstream like Boards of Canada (BoC is great music, don't get me wrong). Last year, the album I listened to the most was Se Ve Desde Aquí by Mabe Fratti [1].
