I wanted to pop in and say if you are looking for a Spotify alternative I’ve now been using Deezer for a month & I’m loving it. I’m missing a few podcasts, but the music selection and mixing/shuffling tools work really well. I’m also able to stream on my old computer without the player struggling.

I've made a (messy) document on mutual aid for Blue Sky.

It contains:
