My favorite song is...
*"DO YOU NEED A BREAK FROM THE ADS?"*
naw, its all about that *"if you know someone who dips...*
I signed up to Premium recently.. Truly not sure if its worth it yet
I signed up for adblock premium
I read somewhere that their PC version of the player can actually manage your own offline libraries? That true?
its true
Spotify is the reason why I have stopped pirating music.
Haven't entirely stopped, personally. Just... don't do it often. Every now and then there's something that isn't available on Spotify, though usually SoundCloud works for that.
... now I just pirate an app
Same. And transferring to a different eco-system (like iTunes or GPlay) when you have thousands of songs organized is out of the question.
Spotify is the reason why I want to start. I've used it for a few months, while it was cheap, but they are so blatantly overcharging that I will start looking for something else.
tyjuji how is 10 bucks a month for 90% of the world’s music overcharging?
‘Spotify released in 2009’ and ‘offers premium since 2008’. I’m 99.9% sure that adds up right
yeah, i noticed that too
Lewis Wright I think he meant that it's existed since 08 as a premium service, but added the free service a year later
*deep fried buzz lightyear hmm image*
Exactly.
lmao ya
Thank you Spotify, now I stopped pirating songs. Pirating an app is enough now.
Pretty much my concept xD The illegal officially became legal.
open.spotify.com/user/imiw3jqoymq0amyu2sguxofys?si=apaXA2FiROWwt4CFyyyarA
Why would you need to pirate the app though? It's free
@@gavinthecrafter doesn't let you choose songs freely etc
*The next thirty minutes are ad-free thanks to the following sponsor:*
*not even 15 minutes later an ad comes up*
Elo Veltix Can't relate I use premium Spotify.
Speaking of sponsers, Tunnel bear!
Trash Can Gaming LIES, DECEPTION!
how can you even complain if you don't pay for it xD
It just works
Palindromemordnilap he is not a bot
Fucking sake dude, you are everywhereeeeeee. every fucking comment section I look at, you are there...HOW?!?!?!??
That’s apple’s slogan isn’t it?
Colenhood Not necessarily
Colenhood you should think a bit different
I hope Linus DROPS that album soon.
Lol. I got a Spotify ad on this vid
I love this new guy from TechLinked.
I love Spotify because in class I can log in onto a computer and get all my songs 🤷♂️
Premium was launched in 2008? Spotify was released in 2009 you said?
No! No! No! No! *N O!*
that doesn't look like a techquickie shirt Riley, have you betrayed us?
Spotify + AdBlocker = 🔥
HerrBlauzahn mobile ?
you don't get 320kbs though
Jhono Gudiel no Spotify Web Player
theepicsealshow123 you're right. But better listening flac.
HerrBlauzahn thanks :)
"byte me"
What's the difference between Spotify and RUclips, where music licensing are concerned?
You should’ve talked about how Spotify wants to utilize blockchain to make it easier to track royalty expenses. Record labels still exist because of the large amount of legal obligations that exist.

I was a beta tester for the Music Gnome project back in 2008 when I went to Michigan Tech. For those who don't know, the Music Gnome project is what developers of Pandora called themselves. Pandora has technically been out since early 2000's under a pseudo name, however never really gained ground until around 2008 when MGP took over development and made it into what people are listening to it today.
I hear the ads are atrocious on Pandora now, but i wouldn't know, I got Pandora One for life thanks to my contributions to the MGP.
Riley is adorable!
TreyX He is indeed!☺️ I was pleasantly surprised to see him present this episode of Techquickie.😊
CENTRAL PAHK
The dude is very nice to listen to and to watch :)
Falxhor Which is great since that's all we can do…😄
ikrrrr
Spotify doesn't have everything... I listen to a lot for indie bands & artists so Spotify doesn't do it to for me like my local library of music that I do own.
Deon Spates who the hells listen to indie music
virgins and hipsters
also soyboys, cant forget soyboys
Soundcloud could have it
BlackBlizz259 not everyone here is listening to pop shit and Taylor Swift.
Also, as I am a fucking weeb, I have to download a lot of Japanese songs that are only licensed for accounts with Japanese credit cards for some bullshit reason.
I think Spotify is great, most of my family uses it! with that being said, I'm still riding the very high seas of the Pirate Ocean
Shameless!
*RILEY* *HOSTED* *TECHQUICKIE!*
RealHyp3rMAX I don’t know if he’s qualified 🤔🤔🤔
I think Riley found a new home "TechQuickie". A really good fit. Unlike OJ and the glove. LOL
What if because the "streaming" platform for EVERYTHING media is now taking off & also being cloud sourced, that the whole royalty market needs or will change for everyone.....movie stars, directors, music artists, etc.... Maybe they won't be making the 25 Billion dollars a year anymore, but 25 million instead..... Just wondering.
Maybe in the near future, all streaming services will be totally free, wouldn't that be an awesome time live in...
They'll still make sizeable amounts of money, but record labels will need to work harder for it. Things like merchandise, exclusives, concerts and events, etc. will become increasingly important while revenue from direct music sales will decline.
25 million instead of 25 billion? That will apply to pretty much 0.0001% of all music artists. The rest will make 25 cents a year instead of 2500 a year. The awesome time of starving musicians is already here. That's why ticket prices have skyrocketed in the past few years and will continue to. Buy a CD if you really like an artist. I don't mean to be rude, many people share your opinion and that's perfectly valid. I'm just trying to give some insight from someone who works in the music business.
J0hnnyBeG00d people still buy CD's?
Appo A Funny thing is.....ppl still buy vinyl; is that mind blowing or no? Of course, ppl buying cassettes, or 8-tracks, would just be stupid silly crazy, huh ;-)
Love comment.
Cheers, A
Haha cheers mate
I went from pirating music many years ago, to going legit and purchasing music from Amazon Music (both in MP3 and physical album formats), to finally strictly streaming from Spotify. I was one of those that got a 3 month premium for 0.99 and I was instantly hooked with how easy and fast it is to just look up something you want on demand and 'save to library'. And finally being able to cache any songs on my phone's SD card, albeit not the same as owning, is damn near close enough, making offline listening a real thing.
There is no difference for "artist" between pirating or streaming the amount of money is so smal that right now its safe to say they dont care and they are focusing on other ways of income like lives merchandise and things like that the only one who get a noticeable benefit is spotify share holders and ceo not artist

I got a Deezer ad before this vid... Urmm...
Hot tip: Spotify Premium is about 50% off for students around the world, granted that you can send them proof that you're a student.
I sent a digital copy of the official study confirmation from my university in Denmark, and it was approved an hour later!
Rasmus Eskesen it's like 5 bucks for spotify and Hulu if you're a student.
At least in Finland, the discount is only for university students. College students are out of luck.
TLDR;
It uses the Interwebs...
After coming to India your facts are going to change. It will be the biggest. 😂
Answer: it doesn’t. Spotify down and my account was randomly deleted
I don't know how new this guy is but he's great. Oh, and fire the Linus guy I never liked him
He's not new, Linus and Riley worked with NCIX awhile back before it went into liquidation
*When you pirate spotify premium so you don't have ads either*
2:09 Best album =D
“They’re even listen on the new york freaking stock exchange, and that is a ¿big thing?”
This dude should get some economy classes and stop playing with iPhones a little bit
still degraded quality on spotify, still downloading for free.
Ummm...there is high bitrate streaming and downloads on Spotify.
Not near as high as 1867 kbps for example
Антон Южаков there are a very small few albums that have a such high quality, if you want to listen to them get tidal instead.
You clearly haven't used both. Because the difference is night and day.
I'm fine with storing my music locally tbh.
I have like 1.2 TB on PC and 30 gigs on my phone...
Very little information just the host being cheesy and annoying with gags and inside jokes. Pointless video.
When I first saw him, I thought, "Brendon Urie."
what about the most important thing -algorithm?? I though this video is going to mention that as well
still waiting for that album
Lol I forgot Spotify even had ads because I only used Spotify for like 5 minutes before getting premium.
I L❤️ve Spotify
... a bit weird but ok....
Spotify makes me pay monthly I hate it
Comment your longest Spotify playlist
Mine is 628 hours ;)
Mine is 2 hours lmao
Mine is 34 hours and 57 minutes. 568 Songs.
how many songs do you have in your library?
The recent update fucked everything up because it's even more restricted. Because idk if I should still use it.
Oooh, poor music artist. It's a shame that I will download pirated music tracks and they will not get quarter of a cent when I listen to it.
If anyone wants a free music app for offline listening get itube, its called bg player on google play store.
Well It's Now Available In India
💝😻😍😘
It doesn't have some songs.
But its now handicapped in india
@@jyothishram ?? What you mean?
Because it loses so many songs and so many features
@@jyothishram Yup without premium kinda useless same like youtube no background play which is the biggest flaw when it comes to a music streaming app
The most used program / app for me. It's worth paying for the premium subscription. I use spotify every single day, so hell yeah. The thing that pisses me off though is that they removed real-time lyrics, because their contract with musicxmatch ended or something like that.
Downloading flac files > Streaming
me too man!
I actually know a small music group that told me they earned 3 cents for 10 000 listenings...
yeah impossible
"Spotify started in 2009" 0:23 … "Spotify has been offering a premium subscription since 2008" 1:20 … ?
Maybe he said 2008 as a mistake idk
Ahh, I remember the golden days of limewire. I would get songs for free and talk in the chatroom too. When it was taken down I resorted to downloading music from RUclips and converting it to mp3 with a file converter. (Format Factory I believe)
Next: How does lungs work. BRO
Thomas *do
Thank you grammer nerd!
spotify just started making profit this year :o
interesting
*Interestinger*
I still have CDs, iPod, and songs I copied from old PCs.
I came here for *Linus*
i cant be the only person who hates spotify...
Have you ever heard of
Myzcloud:Russian service
Netease xiamia :Chinese services
Both have free listening and download
I stopped using Spotify because of the covers. WAAAAY too many covers. I want to hear exactly zero covers. /smh
Soundcloud sucks lol
Why do you think it sucks lol
Sound cloud is the Spotify of covers XD
U wish
Who?
TailstheFox
I am fine with spotify on desktop, but screw mobile ones. I'll just import songs instead to my phone
ThisEmptyWorm exactly, on phone it just shuffle plays and you can’t skip and sometimes adds songs you don’t want to your playlists
Tech quackie
MP3 juice downloaders, rise!!
I like your content
Spotify is shit, ads are EVERYWHERE
Ehhhhhhhhhh... Spoofy?
IS DESPACITO 2 AVAILABLE ON SPOOFY??!!
SoundCloud 🤓
I don't use spotify, and if there was a magical streaming service that had 100% of all movies and television shows, I still wouldn't use that except as an emergency. I download everything and anything and hoard it all. Once a month or so I load up my shazam and download the tracks I run into and rinse and repeat
The business model is interesting but until we (canadians) have access to 50 gig per month plans, it isn't worth it. As a comparison, my ex gf from USA uses 20-30 gigs a MONTH because she streams music all day long. I can't afford that. If I were to spend that much money, there's better ways to do it, like having vpn services coupled with more hard drives.
Rye Hots Well if you have premium you can download songs, so you don't have to use your data plan AFAIK
I have unlimited data from MTS in Manitoba, who are with?
I think your missing the point of offline playlists. I listen to 8 hours a day a work all offline. Then stream when I'm home. And I have a 4 gig data plan.
Rogers in ontario.
if spotify allows me to download songs for offline play it still isn't worth the money since *i already download music* and can stream from free sites at home
like I said I get the business model but it isn't for me.
Here in Australia a lot of cell providers offer data free spotify streaming
Only a month left before they drop the "Bite Me" album
I use Pro APK of Spotify
"Something that costs money - music"
As a person who hasnt paid a cent for a song in his life, i felt really good
People upload stuff and you download stuff. Why is this a question?
obvious_humor because this isn’t the answer lol
Emma Jones
Sure it is.
VIDEO TOPIC IDEA!
Hay Tnx for your videos:)
Do you have a video on frequencies? I have a phone with sprint service can i use it with T-mobile (GSM..) if it has LTE?
And if i can does it mean that i won't be able to use where LTE isn't available (since it's a CDMA device and only LTE works for GSM providers..)
And overall how do i get a phone change code?
Do you have a video on this topic?
Tnx
Who even pays for spotify? I got a premium cracked apk for free and got all the features from premium just cant download music
I do and from smaller artist I often buy CD's and merch.
some people aren't poor
Sammy S i rather spend money on Steam and getting a new gpu
Xanther Banter i download only singleplayer torrent games
Bro I dont get this,I live in a 3rd world country and I didnt know what Spotify was.
You can just convert a yt song into an mp3 and put it on your phone,same with movies,anime etc..
Why pay for that,Ik this because my friend does it,I pay for everything like a moron 🙃
How did we go from “how the business works” to “how the tech works”
If the royalty fee per play is 0.75 cents (I know it is not exactly that, but for simplicity sake) and we ignore the overhead costs such as server fees, does that mean Spotify makes money on any user who listens to less than 1,333 songs, but loses money to anyone who listens to more (I realize these listens can include repeat listens to the same song)? Also does anyone know if the length of the song has any impact on the royalty fee? Also I'm assuming a Spotify subscription still costs 10$ a month.
Riley😍😍
Luckily its blocked in UAE! I wouldn't want to be using such inferior software. I like Apple music much more, so much more original and only crashes have of the time!
Wait Riley's on techquickie now?!
Samuel Mashil I was surprised too. But he could be on everything; I certainly wouldn't mind at all! ☺️
0:23 Here you said that Spotify originated in 2009, but at 1:19 you said that they introduced Spotify Premium in 2008... sooo when did Spotify actually originate?
If you are a student, there is really no reason to not get Tidal. You get FLAC and it's the same price as Spotify premium for students.
Well, the music library is smaller
ojas42 I am yet to come across a song I want that isnt there. People who haven’t used it exaggerate that point
I wish I could switch over but all my songs that I listen too are on Spotify (1010 songs ) and I don't feel like searching for each of them
TIdal have a recommended website on their FAQ's that transfers songs. I didn't use it so can't personally comment on how good it is.
I have an expensive external audio interface, beyerdynamic headphones and a pair of great studio monitors and I fail to hear a difference between 256 and 320 kb/s. Why would I need FLAC and sacrifice the larger library (and better mobile app)?
The part at minute 1:08 triggers my google assistant every single time :O for real WTF.
It works like shit. Bring back our humble water filter salesman!
What happened to radiohead??
Awwwww idk...they are my favourite artist...
I'm already dead ligma is killing me :(
You sure it's not sugma?
yeah,but i saw an other doctor an he told me that i had sugandese too.
he said that i had a max of 1 year to live.
this is so sad alexa play despacito
did you notice that the song list in spotify is not complete??
there are songs that are not in spotify
and some some that are there is a version of a songs not the original song
By banning people based on ideology?
hate group != ideology
As a private corporation it is not their job to enforce free speech.
no body "He broke the terms." Could you elaborate on this beyond "hate speech." Spotify certainly hasn't explained it.
Steadfast Whiplash "private corporation" that's used by everyone as a public utility. That has THE MOST traffic. That has government influence. That can change the course of elections...
Adel Right. And at any time, they can band together and de-person whoever they please, even if it influences an election, and they don't have to give a reason. And there exists people who are OK with that...
They are making €3.5 billion off of subscriptions and aren’t profitable yet? How does that work.

Luc Tolan not first
Well it's pretty simple actually. You go to the app store, download the app, sign up and voila!
First
Ryan Steve 4 firsts wow
XD
Not first
why not?
Am I the only one who still prefers downloading mp3s (and flacs)?
I use Spotify and Deezer only to discover music and listening to podcasts. I am a tagging Freak and just prefer to have files that I own. Also, Foobar2k and PlayerPro have way better features than any Streaming-Player!
Where is bite me eh? Its been a year
Holy fuck, I've only watched Linus on this channel and maybe a couple of other people (sorry idr your names), but fuck this guy could easily get a job as a voice actor, fuck me I'll listen to him do one of those asmr videos as well AND IM NOT EVEN GAY
Very strange presentation. Spotify apparently had a paid service before they launched the free service. But this video seems to imply that Spotify is primarily a free service (lol, I don't use spotify but everyone who I know who does has the paid service). Anyway, also the video says Spotify started offering free service in 2009, then they say "they also have a paid service since 2008" which is technically true, but sounds very strange.
