"Can X million people be wrong?"

Yes! All the time! Everywhere! At any given point in human history!

@killyourfm Steely Dan's "Aja" on a quality hi-fi is another sublime '70s audio engineering experience 😌

@WarnerCrocker sorta feels like any profit they might otherwise have gleaned from this is going to be cancelled out by consumer backlash before it's even happened. True genius moves

@RickiTarr [Wallace Shawn liked this.]

@killyourfm Just in case it might help, when I jumped ship a few years ago (for Tidal, which at least pays artists a little bit better), I used this free service to copy all my playlists over: https://www.tunemymusic.com/

Pros:
- does what it says on the box
- costs nothing
- doesn't take an obnoxious amount of time

Cons:
- will replace tracks it can't find on your new service with somewhat random ones
- will delete your playlist descriptions and replace them with "created with Tune My Music" text

Yesterday was a good day to cancel your Spotify subscription. Today is a good day to cancel it as well. And guess what? Tomorrow, too, will be a good day to cancel your subscription to Spotify. (h/t @killyourfm )
