I’ve been chatting with a good number of folks who are turning down streaming services lately for various reasons. I’ve blogged about this before, and if you’re looking for advice on how to make the switch, I and a lot of others have said things about it in the past.

Attached: 1 image Yesterday my Spotify subscription expired, and instead of renewing, I finally moved on. But downloading 500+ songs manually is hell, so I built ZipifyTunes; a simple tool that converts any playlist CSV into MP3s with album art + metadata! Now I’m listening offline again on my iPod Nano 5th gen and loving it. And with @peersky I can even upload the ZIP to IPFS or Hypercore and stream my songs from public gateways on my phone. If you want to save hours of work, try it: https://github.com/akhileshthite/zipify-tunes

Hearing Things
“It can be a little scary,” Hotline TNT frontman Will Anderson says of taking his music off Spotify, “but one of the things we’re trying to do is illustrate that it might not be as scary as you think.”
