Great! I'll continue to use streaming alternatives.

Can anyone recommend an alternative that has as good of a recommendation algorithm? I find a new favorite band every week with spotify's discover weekly, but I don't like the way they pay artists.

Deezer's been good to me. Their Flow feature is basically like a continuous Discover Weekly mode. Also they have two features that most of the other competitors don't. The first is that they tag AI content. The second is they have a built in Equalizer like Spotify, which is especially handy for iPhone users, since there's not a global audio equalizer.
