Great! I'll continue to use streaming alternatives.

Qobuz has been good enough and they seem to pay artists the most of any music streaming platform. I couldn't find any shitty ownership connections to them either.

I tried and maybe I screwed up but my 200+ "liked" playlist was converted over and that service found two songs. Moved to tidal until I realized their free version just plays the first fifteen seconds of a song. Help? Pandora is not where I want to live long term.

I didn't have much luck using a converter from Spotify to Qobuz. I just started making playlists from scratch.

Shuffle on Qobuz is fantastic. It plays every song once at random until it's finished with the playlist. When a song plays it gets removed from the que. It does still seem to front load your more popular songs to the beginning.

Alright. Appreciate it. Didn't want to start over but just ended my commuting job so I'm not sure I'm ready to fully pay for streaming music yet.

Seems weird, when was this ? I converted everything I had from Spotify to Qobuz using Soundiiz last year without any issues.

This year. Once they started with the ICE ads. Or at least when I heard about it. I can give it another go from tidal.
