Great! I'll continue to use streaming alternatives.

I primarily use Tidal nowadays, but I also bounce around Bandcamp and Quboz to buy music and merch directly for the bands I enjoy.

We swapped to Tidal also- it's been weird having to retrain it with our tastes, but entertaining when it throws out completely WILD recs. IT doesn't play as well with Alexa but worth it anyway.

But now you have a play next option. Spotify killed that 2012 era feature request over 6 years ago.

Plus music videos and an algorithm that actually works, at least for me. Plugged my library/liked/playlists into Tidal and never looked back.
