For people that use Spotify it might be interesting to learn that (to my knowledge) Deezer has a larger library (56 million tracks) than Spotify and doesn't use DRM.#drmfree #Deezer #Spotify

@vordenken You mean about the DRM or the music library?

@vordenken I've currently got it happily playing music in Firefox without Widevine, play DRM-controlled content disabled and Flash disabled. I was never able to do that with Spotify.

@ericbuijs Nice to know that. I would love to switch from spotify but the best feature from spotify, recommended new music, is just not present on other services like deezer..

@vordenken FWIW, my son's tell me that Deezer's Flow is pretty good.

@ericbuijs Sadly when opening deezers website or app, its connects to a lot of crap like google and facebook.

@ericbuijs that's impressive! I thought nothing could rival Spotify in terms of availability, but I did some cursory searches for fairly obscure Swedish punk bands and it came back with results.It's even a bit cheaper than Spotify, on top of the other benefits. Now to convince my wife she has to switch...

@ericbuijs @vordenken their encryption key is public, no point in DRM :)

@vordenken In my webbrowser I see the usual suspects like facebook.net and googletagmanager which I all block of course. Not much more. It would surprise me if Spotify wouldn't deliver a similar payload with it's webplayer.

@ericbuijs I don't see how having no DRM provides any advantage. You don't own the music anyway?I don't use Spotify because I'm uncomfortable with a system that screws content creators by giving them peanuts for their labour... I doubt Deezer is any better. I would gladly pay if money distribution was fair to musicians.If you put that issue aside, one plus I see with Deezer over Spotify is that the free account supposedly has no ads.

@normandc And you're right, DRM free doesn't provide any direct practical advantage but I'm annoyed by all the people here linking to the Spotify website that forces us to use DRM and provide them with an alternative.https://www.defectivebydesign.org/spotifyIt's DRM software like Widevine used by Spotify that does give Google enormous leverage over users and software developers alike. Using DRM eventually undermines freedom on the web.https://boingboing.net/2020/01/08/rip-open-web-platform.html?utm_source=moreatbb&utm_medium=nextpost&utm_campaign=nextpostthumbnails

@ericbuijs Also remember that you can own your music and stream it from a nice private Funkwhale library.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_online_music_stores

@patchman I'm currently playing with Funkwhale and I like it a lot. It could be a replacement for my homemade music server that has all my music on it.

@ericbuijs Not sure how big Nuclear's library is, but it must be in the same ballpark... 🤔 😀

@ericbuijs I must admit that my recommendation of Funkwhale is without 1st hand experience. All I know is that @unklebonehead talks about it alot :PI don't have a need to stream music myself, but I looked at the options the other day and I found three candidates.https://airsonic.github.io/https://koel.phanan.net/https://funkwhale.audio/What are you using for your server?

@patchman I'm on the open.audio instance. It's from the Funkwhale developer Eliot Berriot. One downside, initially it doesn't allow you to upload.
