I haven't had a functional TV in my home for over 5 years now. I will sometimes watch shows on my laptop but that's about it.

In place of a TV I have a high res audio transport and speakers that are used for music. Spotify isn't exactly a saint but it would be challenging for them to do what Disney is doing without losing all their customers.

Try Qobuz. We switched off Spotify over a year ago and it's been better in every way.

Can attest that Tidal is basically completely satisfying as a Spotify replacement for me. I use a dedicated podcast app and buy any audiobooks I want from Libro.fm Haven’t looked back.

Still continue to slowly build my CD + mp3 collection in case this wonderful era of “cheap subscription for almost all the world’s music ad-free” doesn’t last forever.

Deezer is a great alternative.
