Oh dang for real?? Tell me more…
What apps could i potentially transfer these playlists to??
I’ve been on Spotify for so long, I’ve been practically blind to all the other stream platforms.

I carry a 27.5” version in my mtb kit for flats (mtb is set up tubeless, so only for flats/emergencies)

Tubo’s r the truth! I don’t run them yet myself just due to the nature of my riding…again, big, heavy street machine that rolls over literal broken glass and crud on every ride. I’d already run Tubos if I wasn’t afraid of potentially ruining one on every ride from glass at shitty street spots.

Not compensating artists is high a top the list of reasons I hate and want to leave spotify, but a very close contender is the perpetual “shuffling” of the same 30 songs in a playlist of 5,000+ songs. 😑😑😐🫥

Fuck u Spotify. Fuck u.

Spotify is the reason u can never trust electronic slot machines.

I’m really embarrassed to say I still have Spotify.

The reason,
I’ve spent a LONG time compiling lists, lots of lists! At this point, I have thousands of songs and LPs placed in specific playlists.

My question:

Is my only other option to get a new music app and start over??

Thank u my friend!! Yea I waited and waited to have an epic proposal and ended up waiting too long so the pregnancy/baby birth kinda stole my thunder lol.

Yes!! Bonus tracks were a right of passage in the cd days! I lived for little Easter eggs like that back in those days!!

I thought I saw GSport and some tubolitos on there! So sick! I’m like u, I’ve always thought of chrome parts as the shit from way back when I was a kid lol. I’m jelly!! Mine is a street beef machine, so it weighs a ton. Always kinda wanted to build an opposite rig, light as possible just because.

Nice! I think Apple might b the front runner to replace.

JP is the absolute man! Don’t sleep on Tommy Prine too, his son. Some seriously deep stuff.

I really have hated many things Spotify has done and stood for over the yrs, but like u said, it’s gonna b tough to leave behind, all that “work” I did lol. Of course nothing compared to the actual work the artists do to get paid micro-pennies. It’s amazing, but I wish it benefited the artists.

Oh that’s killer!! I got into vinyl back in HS, kinda before it took off again. I used to peruse eBay for old stuff constantly and actually was able to grab quite a few classic OPs before the trend picked up and new pressings started happening again. My player crapped out tho so been in limbo 4evr

Totally agreed! My fiance and I were just reminiscing on how it felt to get a new album/CD with the inserts, some artwork, maybe lyrics, etc. That whole thing is kinda lost now.

I’ve basically treated my Spotify like my iPod from 15yrs ago.

I never listen to the “radio stations” or already created playlists.

I only listen to lists I’ve procured myself over time.

Is there anything else like that?

And is there ANY way to transfer what I’ve got to a new app??

When we traveled out west a few yrs ago, we did some hiking and biking and I literally carried a freakin rock in my pocket the entire time lol. Freaky man!

They’re mostly harmless, like I said, giant raccoons. The wild ones r really skittish. They’re more likely to hear u coming and move on before u even knew they were there.

Now a cougar?? That shit scares tf outta me! There have always been whispers that the NC mtns have a few but not confirmed.

Yea we’ve got enough to b kind of a nuisance in some spots..into trash and gardens sometimes chicken coops. Not as much here in the country, but cities have more problem bears. Personally I’ve spent a ton of time way off in the backcountry, so i see a lot of wild ones…

I'm hunting for some new albums and I'd love some recommendations. I don't necessarily care about genre--what was the last album you listened to that blew your mind/made you say "holy shit"?

Alone on my mtb in the middle of nowhere, mom and four cubs!

We have black bears in the mtns and out on the coast, but oddly none in the middle of the state. The big ones get over 500lbs! Mostly, they’re basically giant raccoons, pretty harmless unless u find a mom and cubs.

Oof!! Brown bear? We have some pretty big black bears, and I’ve definitely seen some catastrophic wrecks involving those unfortunately.

Something I hope I never live through again.

McCallMeTheBreeze @mccallmethebreeze.bsky.social · 1d

We have that same breed of death wish deer here i believe lol.

I saw an elk for the first time this summer and man, i really feel for folks living in proximity to those big ass things. They’re so huge, they ain’t moving for nothing! Total ur car and just meander off into the woods.
