Dear Spotify. Can we just get table of songs?

PSST AudioTube Spotify-qt Loud & Clear by Spotify Spot by Alexandre Trendel Roon (Music Player)
  1. 1
    Fast Spotify client with native GUI, without Electron, built in Rust.
    There are some alternative frontends for Spotify available. None of the ones I found works on M1 mac, but Windows and Linux users have some options available. https://github.com/jpochyla/psst https://github.com/toothbrush/Spotiqueue https://github.com/xou816/spot.

  3. A Spotify client using Qt as a simpler, lighter alternative to the official client, inspired by spotify-tui.
    I have been using spotify-qt[1] lately. It's quite close to the original client from more than 10 years ago. 1. https://github.com/kraxarn/spotify-qt.

  4. Breaking down the flow of money in the music business
    AFAIK royalties are paid out for every stream over 30 seconds long. The 'context' (album, playlist, single play) doesn't matter. "royalties [are] based on an artist’s share of overall streams across the platform" [1] My guess is that playlists lead to more engagement than albums. Users listen longer, and discover new music, which leads to more listening in the future. [1] https://loudandclear.byspotify.com/?question=per-stream-rate.

  6. Roon is a music playing application for audiophiles
    I refused to use Spotify from early on because it is so anti-album. The interface just sucks for playing albums, and its ridiculous that they haven't fixed it. Playlists are fine for parties or when you want to discover new music, but if you are doing more focused listening albums are the way to go. I use Apple Music for streaming / high quality downloads while on the go or airplaying around the house, and Roon (https://roonlabs.com) for dedicated in-home album listening. Its definitely a more expensive combo than Spotify, but worth it.
