The ads urge listeners to “join the mission to protect America” by becoming U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, but users of the music streaming giant have taken to social media and Spotify’s website to complain, and announce their withdrawal from the audio platform.
What about Deezer?
I believe their founder (or CEO?) also has his own controversy. Based on what I’ve seen so far, Quboz is the best choice if you really need to use a streaming service.
A few months ago I was looking for a Spotify alternative and tried out Deezer, Tidal, and Qobuz. Deezer would have no idea what song I was just listening to on my computer if I switched to my phone. That was a deal breaker. Tidal was pretty good, but lacked collaborative playlists. I landed on Qobuz and am pretty happy with it. The one slightly annoying thing is I’ve seen a few cases of bands having albums mapped to them that aren’t actually them, but some other band/artist with the same name. Not a deal breaker for me, just slightly annoying and something that will hopefully get cleaned up over time.
