Four alternatives to Spotify: swapping is easier than you think Artists and listeners are leaving the platform after its CEO invested in defence technology. Here are your options โ€“ along with how to keep your playlists

I get why people are leaving Spotify, but another reason to leave would be: no-one gets paid. Only Bandcamp pays artists. The rest expect you to supply them with content for free. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

COVID is still around and a risk to vulnerable people. What are the symptoms in 2025? And how long does it last? Most people who get COVID today will experience only a mild illness. But some are still at risk of severe illness. Hereโ€™s what the virus looks like 5 years on.

The elderly & the immuno-compromised are still at risk. They will hopefully understand that, but be careful around friends & family etc. COVID is still around and a risk to vulnerable people. What are the symptoms in 2025? And how long does it last? theconversation.com/covid-is-sti...
