I’ve been trying to get off of Spotify for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, I don’t have the money to spend on a Deezer or Tidal subscription, which is required to listen to more than 30 seconds of a song. I also have an extremely large playlist that needs transferring, so I need an unlimited version of FreeYourMusic if it exists. Thanks! Edit: Thanks for all the replies and advice! Unfortunately, I’m too stupid for almost all of it, but I appreciate it anyways. The solution I went with is using Newpipe on Android and a Spotify adblocker called Blockify on pc. Have a good day!

    The trackers definitely aren’t all run by one dude. Files are shared/seeded by users, myself included. I’d guess less than 1% of users are paying/donating and mods are volunteers. There’s money to be made, sure. But arguing that money is going to something nefarious because it potentially could is a lame argument IMO.

      Oh ye, in case of torrents its not all one guy. It never is. In case of consoles it was paradox, or team executor, or … (All financed by max in this case, but hes never alone).
      And even with trackers i sure hope and assume its different teams.
      I didnt mean to say piracy is evil itself, thats like saying all arm-base phones are evil.
      Just saying there is way more evil and devils there than you think. Mobsters are a thing
