Just today I had the lovely situation to get an ad break during two podcast episodes on Spotify mobile (Android).
Changing the track does work but the ad break stays. BUT I could fast forward the ad.
I pay fucking Family Prem. for that shit. WTF?!
@The Haters: No, this was not a baked in ad by the podcast hoster but literally inserted by Spotify.
- Yeah, Spotify made that deal with podcasts. They wanted them on their platform so bad, that they fucked every single paying customer they have.
  I have Spotify Premium Duo, and it's the same thing on podcasts.
- I switched to AntennaPod for podcasts because of this. It's also just a better experience - it auto downloads new episodes and deletes them after playing.
  
  Podcast Addict has been able to do this forever.
  
  I was about to comment this! I learned about that app from a few Lemmy users recommending it, and it's the real deal. Podcasts still generally have ads inserted in (which you can fast forward through), BUT I learned that you can set rules for your subscriptions which apply to each episode, like "skip the first 45s of each episode". Go to subscriptions, tap the settings gear wheel, and find auto skip!
  
  Spotify doesn’t do that?? That’s like feature #0 on a podcast app
  
  Is there anything like this for iOS? I usually stick to Overcast but haven’t really looked into switch apps for a while.

  Just FYI, those two things don't need to be exclusive. In this case Spotify is probably the one sponsoring the podcast, and so they inserted ads themselves, as opposed to the content creators including their sponsor ads. Many more successful podcasts are doing this now, and it seems like the ads get shoved in when there sometimes aren't even breaks.
  Not saying it doesn't suck, it absolutely does. Just pointing out that it's a new trend. So it'll probably get worse!

  As this was the WAN show by LTT I doubt that. At least the sponsoring.
  
  Spotify inserts their own ads into every podcast, regardless of whether you have premium or not. Then on top of that the podcasters themselves usually insert either ads or sponsorships into it too. I've seen countless podcasts do this now. In the worst cases that feels something like this: ad (by spotify) > introduction and depending on the podcaster potentially ads there too > barely any content > sponsorship > barely any content > ad (by spotify) > barely any content > podcast break and either sponsorship or ads by the podcaster > repeat for 2nd half

Don't use DoubleDouble.top. Many of its tracks are YouTube rips.
Use one of these websites instead. Every single tune is available in 320Kbps MP3 and FLAC. No rips nor re-encoding:

- If you want an app for your phone, Soulseek has done me absolute wonders. Shockingly it's on the Google play store. It requires an account, but the app automatically makes you one when you use it iirc.
  
  Are you talking about Seeker?
- First site is dead or link is broken
  
  It goes down all the time. It'll be back.
- How about for full album downloads?

This is great but is there something like this that let's you upload a spotify playlist and buy that list drm free? I'm willing to pay if it means actual ownership
*Oh wait I didn't see what sub this was
- Lol hahaha are you a fellow pirate or nah?
  
  I'm not against it but it's not my first choice personally

While we are here, does anyone know of an open source implementation of a recommendation algorithm? I currently pay for YTM for my family and while it is the Bee's Knees now, I can see the coming enshittification and would like to start planning ahead. Thanks!
- I've seen a few recommendations for ListenBrainz lately, but I haven't tried it yet so I can't say
  
  It's nice :)
  
  Thanks!

Why not just use SoulSeek?
- This lets you immediately slot in a spotify link someone sends you to an iOS VLC playlist on the go.
  The past few years I am constantly out of the house and on my phone. I used to postpone learning how to make my mobile workflow operate because PC is obviously better. But stuff like this and Invidious keeps me on par with regular people and allows me to be passed the aux without spontaneously combusting out of awkwardness.
- SoulSeek doesn't have podcasts.
  Now, to be fair, I hate every podcast. But if I want to clip parts of the hosts being stupid to make fun of them in a blog, this utility and other spotify download tools are sadly needed
  
  Do you actually work in that field?

Hmmm. What is the catch? Seems like a honeypot a little bit.
- double double is in c/piracy(this)'s megathread, so there's that.
- The catch is its time consuming since it doesn't support Playlist. There are similar tools that also support up to 100nsong Playlist.
  
  Yeah, the tools I use for playlists grabs whatever is on YouTube. I haven't found a mobile option to download full playlists from a not YouTube source.
- It downloads from YouTube.
  
  How can it be lossless then?
  
  No it doesn't.
  
  Try harder, troll baby.
