Planning on ditching Spotify & I’m wondering what y’all thing of qobuz vs. tidal. Seems like neither have podcasts so I’ll have to get a separate app for that. What are your thoughts?

    Use the free trials with both and see what you prefer!

    For podcasts, if you’re on android, check out AntennaPod

    edit: Adding some more information

    • The podcast format was designed to be decentralized and open. Most creators still do direct distribution, so you can follow your favourite podcasts without needing a centralized entity like Spotify to collect it for you
    • The exception is the platform exclusive paywalled stuff that Spotify produces themselves. Joe Rogan is one of those iirc, but I don’t think that affects the majority of people here
    • If you listen on multiple devices and want to synchronize your listening history, see here: https://antennapod.org/documentation/general/synchronization

      I had to check, I’m using Antenna Pod having moved from pocketcast due to its American ownership.

      Fantastic app, I’m loving it and being open source is a massive win
