I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”.

Why am I seeing ads if I’m already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

    I don’t. I compress the FLACs on my PC (into OGGs) and sync my desktop library with my phone. I have like 5k songs and they take up like 40gigs of space.

    I used to use Plex to stream to my phone, but there were too many issues.

        I personally liked Plex a lot better than Jellyfin, even though it’s open-source. They worked about the same and Plex’s layout is a lot more pleasing to me and my family/friends.

        After a year of local music, I don’t see the need to stream at all. I have more than enough space on my phone and no worries when driving through places with bad Internet. Plus I don’t miss anything when I enable Airplane Mode.
