Spotify is usually reported as one of the worst paying for the artists.
They also don’t distribute the value by time listened, but pool in and award the largest artists (don’t remember the specifics, you might need to look it up).
They were also found/accused of using their auto generated playlists with made-up artists who’s money goes to ‘noone’, just shady stuff.
That’s partly a manufacturer issue, a lot more difficult problem to solve than it may seem.
There’s a gif at the bottom of the article. Looks similar to any video scrubbing interface.
They’re all proprietary, so it’s less than ideal.
LDAC is owned by Sony and supported by some Androids.
Samsung has their own codec, Apple does too - each vendor locked.
Then there’s Qualcomm’s aptX/HD, which should now be fully supported by Android.
I don’t use apple, so can’t comment on other options there.
The bluetooth remark is a bit misleading, there are codecs that provide better audio, which is even noticeable on Spotify.
If you have earphones that support LDAC for example (sony XMs are popular where I live), you can even use that with Windows via 3rd party software (search Win A2DP - not free, but can recommend).
You don’t? Really?
We’ve been conditioned. Everything has a cost.
I’ve tried all the popular alternatives, and not one was better.
Theoretically, buying the songs without DRM felt best, but having enjoyed nearly 6,5K different artists on Spotify so far, that won’t really work.
Unfortunately, as an average consumer, that means I’m sticking with Spotify for now.

Bring back audio brain jacks!
I love the change. I have many playlists and it has made my life so much easier organising everything.
Good advertising! I just hope the dev gets out of this without consequences and the project lives on.
Assuming it’d be cheaper than tapes, absolutely.
It can sometimes triangulate you better than the cell towers.
Kinda, as the word implies. If it’s a software update, call it that; the car’s not going back to the shop/manufacturer.
Look into dns ad blocker, you can avoid a lot of ads on your entire network with this "one simple trick ". No additional hw or sw needed.
They’re still rgb plus maybe yw using colour mixing, so depending on the quality, tuning, physics and our perceptionof light, not all colours are as nice or bright.
Believe it or not, peak humanity.
It’s all downhill from here
