Could it delete itself? That'd be great.
I used to use Rhapsody until it turned in to Napster, then bought out by crypto bros who broke it, then just fucking gave up.
If there's a better alternative beyond going back to pirating, I'd love to know.
I'm more than happy to spend my money on a quality service but beyond a few niche players with limited catalogs, there aren't lot of good alternatives. Qobuz and Tidal are nice, but when they have 20% of the catalog of Spotify, it's not very useful.
I pirate big label stuff and get smaller artists off band camp to throw them a few bucks
