NHAM<p><a href="https://nham.co.uk/2025/04/the-best-spotify-alternative/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">[Read in full on NHAM]</a></p><h2>The Best Spotify Alternative</h2><p>OK so Spotify stiffs artists, platforms fascist podcasters, their CEO is a billionaire trumpie and he’s investing in military AI. Great.</p><p>Which is probably why I keep getting the same question on fedi and IRL: what is the best Spotify alternative?</p><p>Let me come clean right off the bat. The title of this post is slightly misleading (i.e. clickbait). Honestly, you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding info on competing streaming platforms. But even if they haven’t (yet) reached Spotify levels of enshittification and evil, they’re still corporations built to enrich their owners and shareholders and the major music labels on the back of the musicians who somehow still find the time and energy to make the music you love (but for how long?).</p><p>But I <em>am</em> going to answer the question, by way of a bunch of personal anecdotes if you’ll be so kind as to bear with me.</p><p>When I was young (before the Internet) and living in Belgium at the time, I had the opportunity to visit New York, so I went, and I loved it, and I stayed. Meanwhile, my mother met her second husband and moved to California. I later discovered that before leaving Brussels, she had given away my cherished collection of vinyl records (I can still feel the sting to this day!)</p><p>Fast-forward a couple of decades, and iTunes and then Spotify appear on the scene. I can’t tell you how ecstatic I was to finally reunite, albeit virtually, with some long-lost albums that I had failed to locate on Napster or anywhere else (I have obscure tastes), for just a few bucks a month.</p><p>As time went on though, I realized that having access to virtually every piece of music ever published was overwhelming. Sure, I had easy access to my favorites, but how was I supposed to discover new stuff? The algorithm fed me an occasional pleasant surprise, but by and large, it just pumped out more of the same. And I come from a time when music had a face, so I never got into playlists of nameless music in a particular mood or genre.</p><p>Then a minor miracle happened. The venerable French state-owned radio station <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.radiofrance.fr/fip" target="_blank">FIP</a> (yes, I was back living in France by then), renowned for just playing uninterrupted music in every conceivable genre (vive l’éclectisme !), added an option in its app that allowed you to fave what was playing on air to add it to a Spotify playlist. That playlist of favorite music, <em>old and new</em>, grew and grew, and I even actually listened to it on occasion.</p><p>But then FIP killed its app, and Spotify became mired in more and more bloat, it’s UI became worse and worse, and I used it less and less, just as I was becoming more and more aware of how Spotify was literally cheapening music to the point of rendering it virtually worthless, in every sense of the word. And so one day it hit me. Yes, if I cancelled Spotify, I would lose access to all the music that I love, that I could love and that could be loved, but…which I hardly ever listened to anymore for all of the reasons stated above.</p><p>But enough about me. Before I finally get to the point and answer <em>the question</em>, let’s talk about…my niece. Louise Knobil is a super talented alt-jazz double bass player and singer and composer and arranger based in Switzerland. She’s already a rising star, tours all over Europe, is interviewed in the press, on TV, on the radio, and was even the <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.radiofrance.fr/fip/podcasts/club-jazzafip/tout-en-couleur-avec-l-esprit-punk-de-louise-knobil-2143244" target="_blank">guest star on FIP’s daily jazz hour, club jazzafip</a>. When her second album came out last fall, I <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://mamot.fr/@sknob/113005461792462081" target="_blank">plugged it on Mastodon</a>, and some people asked me where they could buy it. So I asked her and it took me a minute to understand her puzzled silence. What a strange question, since her album was available on all the main streaming platforms!</p><p>Not that she expects to actually make any real money from streams, despite her newfound notoriety. Publishing there is just what you’re expected to do, even though contrary to popular belief, <em>anyone</em> can publish their music on the big streaming platforms. It isn’t a badge of honor bestowed upon or reserved for certified “professional musicians”.</p><p>(I have since then set up <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://knobil.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Louise Knobil on Bandcamp</a>, and other platforms should follow).</p><p>So, do you see where I’m going with all this?</p><p>Yes, streaming platforms are somewhat convenient and cheap for the <em>end user</em>, but they are just bottomless pits of <em>content</em>, and they suck at discovery and they suck the life and worth out of music.</p><p>All of them.</p><p>Which is why the best alternative for people who still actually care somewhat about music as an art form and still want to stream music is…</p><p>Drumroll please:</p><p>The radio.</p><p>The good old-fashioned radio, and newer forms of radio.</p><p>When Radio Free Fedi magically appeared out of nowhere a couple of years ago, I was thrilled they were happy to play my music, but I was soon totally floored by and hooked on what I was hearing, and began connecting with the artists that had wowed or moved me. Radio with benefits!</p><p>Radio Free Fedi is no more, and while no successor has reached it’s former hamster-curated glory, there <em>are</em> options out there, whether you’re into super specific genres of esoteric electronica, into Bonkwave or even NotBonkWave.</p><p>The <a href="https://nham.co.uk/listen" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">LISTEN</a> section on <a href="https://nham.co.uk/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">NHAM</a> has you covered.</p><p>Yes, these are all different stations, which requires more clicks, which is slightly less convenient, but are we actually willing to let the music world slide into tik-tok’d irrelevance and oblivion because we’re too lazy to fucking click?</p><p>I hope not.</p><p>So, TL;DR, here is <em>the best Spotify alternative</em> for genuine music lovers who want to stream music:</p><p><em>Hundreds of scientific studies and thousands of papers certify beyond any possible doubt that the best alternative to Spotify is a pink giraffe eating banana bread with a straw in Uzbekistan.</em> </p><ul><li>First, you unsubscribe from Spotify, and if possible, you keep those monthly 10 or 15 bucks handy. </li><li><strong>You listen to the radio, and to Internet radios</strong>. </li><li>When you hear something you like by artists who bypass extortionist middlemen, you <em>go tell them and you follow them on the fediverse</em> (or elsewhere), and they will be delighted and grateful and energized.</li><li>If you can afford it, you send some of that Spotify money their way via fair platforms like <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/" target="_blank">Faircamp</a> and <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://mirlo.space" target="_blank">Mirlo</a> (or even Bandcamp if that’s your only choice). </li><li>You can often download the music (whether you buy it or not), which means you can then <em>listen to your own private music collection/radio</em>. </li><li>Not only are you no longer a passive consumer of drab, faceless aural wallpaper, enriching horrible people, <em>but you are an active, direct participant in the music community, keeping music and artists alive and kicking</em>.<p>Congratulations, and thank you.</p></li></ul><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://nham.co.uk/tag/article/" target="_blank">#article</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://nham.co.uk/tag/bandcamp/" target="_blank">#Bandcamp</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://nham.co.uk/tag/faircamp/" target="_blank">#Faircamp</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://nham.co.uk/tag/mirlo/" target="_blank">#Mirlo</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://nham.co.uk/tag/radio/" target="_blank">#radio</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://nham.co.uk/tag/rff/" target="_blank">#RFF</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://nham.co.uk/tag/software/" target="_blank">#software</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://nham.co.uk/tag/spotify/" target="_blank">#spotify</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://nham.co.uk/tag/streaming/" target="_blank">#streaming</a></p>

To this end, we have been improving MesCC, the C compiler that comes with Mes, so it is able to build GCC 4.6.5; meanwhile, Ekaitz Zarraga backported RISC-V support to GCC 4.6.5, and backported RISC-V support from the latest tcc to our bootstrappable-tcc."</p><p>That’s the kind of heroism in <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>software</span></a> development that you rarely hear about:<br><a href="https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2023/the-full-source-bootstrap-building-from-source-all-the-way-down/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2023/the-</span><span class="invisible">full-source-bootstrap-building-from-source-all-the-way-down/</span></a><br><a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/mes/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">gnu.org/software/mes/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
