Spotify web client with Adblock works best imo. No shuffle playing of albums. Or “shuffled” radio playlists. Don’t even need premium.

Your playback quality is still (I consider, severely) restricted[1], among other features I might not be aware of. They might also start injecting ads into the audio stream soon, if they realise ad blocking methods are popular (Twitch has done this for example).

You can use the spotifyd lightweight daemon client to play the audio, but control it from a browser session.

spotifyd requires spotify premium though.

They might also start injecting ads into the audio stream soon

...just like how broadcast radio works?

Walmart with reused bags and a getaway car works best IMO. Don't even need to pay.

While that is a very funny sentence, the half a cent I'm withholding from the artist by blocking the ad is hardly a robbery. Just buy a CD once in a while if the guilt is too much to handle.

Indeed, over half of all musicians make their primary income from live performances because streaming pays so little to most!

But also no local files
