Last year's price hike worked out very well for the company, so why not do it again? Spotify is preparing a revamp of its plans and prices, according to a...
As apparently, this move is made to target audiobook listeners and podcast listeners, can I recommend https://audiobookshelf.org
btw I’ve set up my own audiobookshelf server a few months ago for my audiobooks and podcasts.
Being able to start something on my phone and keep tracking of my listening then switch on my computer to continue is pure gold. It’s what I was looking for for ages.
I tried setting up Audiobookshelf in Podman on my ancient Mac mini recently (now running Fedora x KDE), and turns out I don’t know the first thing about running “dockered” servers/apps and absolutely couldn’t get it to work 😅
On mobile as well, and it looks like a complete mess. Image captions seem even more important when it comes to ASCII art, hopefully those become a bit more normalized at some point.

Spotify has plans to raise prices and still no plan to pay normally the artists the platform lives on.

If you want some help in any kind to set this up don’t hesitate to ask
Thank you! I may just take you up on that, but think I need to read some how-to’s first 😁
I’ll see if I can’t figure it out, think it’s mostly a question of lacking available time to get into it properly 👌
It’s called capitalism. They need a near enslaved class to rise the capital.
They recently just changed to stiff the artists even further.

Viewed in portrait mode, that looks like a man giving a toast holding a Champaign flute. Also ironically appropriate.
