Early notices sometimes turned out to be false alarms, but I still appreciate their intention. More recently, I’ve started to receive notices about Spotify removals. Unfortunately, I haven’t found an easy way to check this since they continue to show me all of my releases. However, as with Deezer previously, other musicians have been able to confirm a couple of the removals. This is because these musicians have playlists that used to feature one of my songs that has now been removed. (This was not the case with Apple Music. When my distributor misreported some removals, I was able to confirm on my own that those releases still were on those platforms.) ## Streamers Anti-features I find this unannounced and unexplained removal more than just disconcerting. It’s downright rude. But what else would I expect from a streamer who does everything in their power to avoid paying musicians? Some of the streamers (notably Deezer and Spotify) claim to be cracking down on AI. While I know that AI releases are a concern, I also suspect that this is yet another excuse to avoid royalties. ## My Response I’ll be starting with targeted removals from the offending streamers. I’ll start with the underperforming albums. Basically, any release that has less than 100 plays in the past year, I’ll remove. Don’t get me wrong about this: I’ll have to use the native “artist” tools/insights to check for the number of plays. And I don’t trust those numbers. However, I don’t have anything else to go on. If you are listening to my music on Spotify or Deezer and prefer not to change streamers, please let me know. Drop a comment here or reach out to me on your favorite social network. ### Please share! * Click to share on Mastodon (Opens in new window) Mastodon * Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn * Click to share on Threads (Opens in new window) Threads * Click to share on Bluesky (Opens in new window) Bluesky * Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email * More * * Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook * Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit * * Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr * Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest * * Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X * ### Like this: Like Loading... ### _More for you_ * * * ### Discover more from Stan Stewart - @muz4now Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.

At the rate SpotEFie is removing my tracks and albums from their worthless platform, it will soon _only_ make sense to remove all of them.

I'm glad I left this despicable leeching platform when I did. You should too, as an artist AND as a fan. The company hates musicians and loves money. Period. There's no excuse to support it. None.

Which is not going to make me switch to Spotify. The people who run it are still arseholes. Fuck Spotify. I use BandCamp and mp3 on a media player (musicolet).

Qkall's favorite songs of 2025 I realize I just posted this on another instance... but that one is going away soon... so for posterity. Some people are interested in this... and, genuinely, thank you for asking. I try to post my (very few niche ass and no one cares) videos with artists I wish more folks paid attention to and it seems that's a good thing and I get into a lot of conversations about it. But, anyway, here's this years list. I tried adding two songs per month as a 'this is me now' this month type of thing. I did try to keep 'early album and late album' songs in their place... but, whatever. Enjoy? What did you like or hate the most? I did leave the more 'epic' songs towards the end... mostly because they're long and I do not expect humans to listen to it all. So, if you made it that far... I got that dank for you. open.qobuz.com/playlist/343774… youtube.com/watch?v=nZwTBSrnkG… #music #topof2025 #isthisearly #hifi #qobuz #leavespotify #qobuz

Spotify used to seem like a necessary evil for musicians. Now it just seems evil | David Bridie I am removing my music from Spotify because I don’t want my songs – some written with survivors of conflict – to enrich people who fund weapons

Pleased to confirm that I have now transferred my playlists and am no longer using Spotify.

Supporting an arms manufacturer is really not ok.
