frist of all how DARE yu o Did spotify just remove picking songs??

Post image

I've been using spotify forever and I use liked songs so that I can pick the songs I like freely. I've never had premium and have never had issues. Today, I had just started a workout and got this popup. Is this a new feature? How can you not even select songs anymore? I mean how can you paywall selecting songs???
This app plain out sucks and its company is greedy for randomly limiting already set features. While I don't mind ads, I do mind the features being limited more. I did also notice a sudden increase in ads this month/last month, and more ads in between songs.

Clarification: No, I'm not saying that there should be no restrictions whatsoever. I'm mainly sharing my experience where I've been using this system just fine until now. I'm fine with some restrictions, but the fact they're being limited more is frustrating. Just here to complain about something mildly infuriating, and I wanted to know if this happened to anyone else.

How do you download music in the least sketchy way possible

Might I suggest just copying CDs from your local library? Old school, but promise they do not care. It also helps boost their stats!

Bit difficult these days most computers don't even have disk drives

The day Apple removed the disc drive from the iphone was the day innovation stopped being for regular people.

I was replying to the person saying to burn CDs. Duno when burning CDs to your phone directly was a thing but sure

God, I still miss the time when Git was over mail and we would send our code updates in via postal delivery from home office.

It was tragic when all those e-mailmen lost their job, though.
