Spotify has shut down several API endpoints

Re:Spotify has shut down several API endpoints by subarctic on Thursday November 28, 2024 @04:49AM (#42263963)

I got spotify a year ago because I needed an easy way to just put on some decent music from a playlist a friend sent me when I had people over. Since then I've realized that basically any song that I want to listen to is on there. Am I missing out on a better experience on some other platform? If so, which one and why is it better?

Sound quality is better and they pay artists more. That's about it.

UI quality is a subjective thing.

According to https://support.spotify.com/uk/article/audio-quality/, you can get 256~320 kbps AAC, which is completely transparent if using a good AAC encoder (FDK or Apple qaac).

I fired Spotify when they signed Rogan to that ridiculous contract, and I switched to Apple Music. Great UX, great audio quality. Not prefect, but better than what I left behind.
