Those who fail to scan the address verification QR code within seven days will see their account demoted to the free tier and be barred from joining any other Duo or Family plan for 12 months. Well that’s pretty crummy. That’s a very long ban, and a lot of extra money.

Ive spent all day working on a way to move my family off Spotify. Ive settled on navidrome behind wireguard and a signal chat where they can request music. The requests are filtered through AI to format it before they are fed into sksld to be downloaded and moved into the respective family members navidrome library. Will it work, I’m not sure but ive spent so much effort and I’m gonna be sad if they dont even try it out.

And people have scoffed at me for buying individual songs on iTunes instead of just jumping in bed with Spotify… No matter how bad my financial situation becomes, as long as I can still charge my iPhone I will have access to not only my full music library, ad free, I also have access to the 50+ audio books I have bought on Apple Books completely ad free. I just need a way to download the audio books without DRM and save them on my home server to feel fully at ease.

Take picture of QR on primary phone. Send photo with QR to people on the family plan

TIL that there are dozens of websites to find strangers to put on their own family plan to get some extra cash, meanwhile they will manage the payments I wouldn’t have imagined that there would be that many. Paying a third party service to get into a stranger’s family plan is against the ToS, so at that point, if you’re willing to go against the ToS you can do it for free

‘Burn baby burn’ is possibly the most appropriate song for them

If you’re going to pay for music, buy it DRM free on bandcamp etc, or CDs and rip them, you can make multiple copies and anyone in your family can play them at any time. Shitify is a joke.

whats a good way to find new music based on a curated library/playlist/settings? i’m on apple for now but yeah… this has always been rough finding new tunes or artists.

They did something like that once a few years ago. I didn‘t see their email and my account was swiftly permanently blocked from the program. No chance to appeal. I was pretty upset for a moment, then made a new account and connected it to the family account. If they kick me out again I‘m gone for good. I‘m not paying the kind of money they‘re asking for to listen to some music and podcasts that run ads and sponsor segments. Discoverability became insanely bad years ago. Most of their recommendations are obvious product placements that they‘re not declaring properly. So yeah, looks like Spotify is about to extract some more money from customers with dubious methods short term and losing a lot of us long term. But I am prepared.

My navidrome subscription just blocked my daughter… No, wait, that was me, nevermind.
