I got caught in a crazy loop of Spotify resetting my password once a week. They offered no help except telling me my 40 char generated password was "not secure enough". So, I cancelled and deleted the account; fuck em.

I acquire the MP3 of the song I want from where ever I can find it. Be that buying it, YouTube converter or elsewhere. Then copy it to the SD card on my phone to listen to. No ads, no data connection needed. I even bother to set the album covers and tags up so it is all searchable in the Oto app I use on my phone.

I used to use YouTube converter. However I got Spotify and it was beyond easy. Also google shut down google music.

Converting vs Spotify is a no brainier though. Costs like $30 a year
