Spotify going IPO was the number one reason I dropped them on the floor. They now officially care only about profits and since they pretty much have just a single product, this means users are fucked.

I begrudingly went to Apple Music and am missing my cd-ripped/torrented mp3 collections...

Why does the free market have to consistently ruin every service?

Apple music isn't run by a profit motivated public company?

Sure they are but the significant difference for the consumer is that Apple has way more than one product.

That's very silly reasoning imo. You're making decisions on believed future indicators and ignoring the actual present facts.
