    Anyone use Deezer? How does the feature set compare? How does it compare to Tidal? I’d love to get off Spotify, just need a good replacement for all the music I listen to.

      In my experience, the same fake albums show up on Deezer as Spotify. Frankly, I think the best way is Bandcamp. For for an album, download it forever. Stop paying to listen to the same music over and over and get DRM free tracks you can listen to your way while giving the money to the artists selling their albums directly.

      Stopped using it when they arbitrarily removed songs from a rapper cause french prime minister had an issue with his lyrics.

      I’ve been using Deezer for almost a year now.

      Things I like:

      • Duo subscription is suitable for long distance couples (this was the main reason I subscribed to Deezer and not Spotify).
      • Wide range of songs, even some pretty rare gems are available there.

      Things I (we) don’t like:

      • As others mentioned, discovering unknown songs is not really a thing on Deezer. Spotify was so good at giving me other songs than what I used to listen, and it aced it. Deezer cannot do that. It only has predefined lists with songs that everyone knows (“hits” in other word).
      • My girlfriend sometimes experiences lags, so probably in Asia they don’t have servers.

      I was recommended RiMusic from Lemmy, using the YouTube music selection.

      It has a radio function but it makes wierd presumptions: say I radio off a synthwavey film soundtrack song, it’ll favor more show music that has little in common with the original selection. Maybe it’s just me.
