Maybe I am missing something there. Pandora had one thing Spotify didn't have though, and that was "bad," but good for me. Pandora could play at a lower bitrate, so I could get it to work without skipping on long drives or in low reception areas easier. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago The suggested songs on Pandora are way better than Spotify IMO. Spotify's web client is garbage too, I used to subscribe but cancelled years ago. permalink fedilink source parent [–] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago Shh don’t question the rage bait you’ll wake the others permalink fedilink source parent
