    I made that mistake with Spotify, got a family plan years ago and hooked my sister + nephew + niece up. Now if I want to cancel it and they lose their playlists, they’ll be all pissy.

      Qobuz will transfer all of their playlists for free in just 2 clicks, it’s part of their onboarding. And their music will suddenly be higher quality to boot, and the artists actually get paid for streams. Just letting you know your options.

        I’ve tried to get so many people to switch to Qobuz. “but my super obscure metal band that nobody’s heard of isn’t on there.” 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

        Fuck Spotify.

      Yeah the upside to my kid being able to explore music and have that whole world opened for him outweighs moving to a different, but still shitty in various ways, music streaming service.

      They won’t lose their playlists. When you cancel premium it just switches to the free plan. They’ll have ads and won’t always be able to play the exact song they want, but otherwise everything else will remain exactly the same.

      There is https://soundizz.com/ which works really well even with their free tier. I think I have transferred all my playlists from Spotify > Apple Music > Qobuz > Youtube Music` by now :) Unfortunately it does not help with convincing family members :(
