Bye Spotify, hello MP3s

I was on and off on different streaming subscriptions like Spotify or Apple Music for a long while. I would eventually cancel my subscriptions for 2 main reasons, price and the algorithm. In Germany, Spotify premium it's 12.99€ per month. That's not a huge price tag, but it's also not insignificant. I felt ok paying for it when I was regularly listening to music, but often times I just had periods when I would just listen to a couple of hours per month. So the expense just felt a bit unjustified. The non premium version of Spotify is decent for a short listening session, but the ads get really annoying after a while. The second reason is that somehow I would end up listening to always the same music. I have a small number of artists and albums that I really like and I would put them on rotation. Sometimes I would go on the discovery playlist, but somehow I would always end up quite disappointed by the recommendations! I am sure that that's probably just me, since I heard people really…
