Spotify is raising its prices again and so I'm tempted to move (again). Do I go full in with an MP3 player and buying albums again?

My real problem moving to Apple Music last time was that Spotify Connect with Sonos is a great implementation.

Google didn't lose them, they chose to remove them.

One of their indie-unfriendly rules is that developers must have a public-facing address on the store. Who would put their home address on the store? www.theverge.com/news/658932/...
