• Bandcamp (pay-what-you-want)
• Qobuz (high quality downloads, the CD quality option is the cheapest but it's really also plenty good enough)
• HDTracks (pricier than the cheapest option on Qobuz but better quality)
• 7digital (offers cheap mp3 downloads but some albums might be pricier than Qobuz and lower quality)
• iTunes (the app, on Windows Store, cheapest of all and lowest quality but cheap but also better quality than free streaming plans)
• Used CDs which you can rip to your computer and then give away (since you already have the music on your computer and/or back-ups. You'll need to invest in a CD drive, though. And some other media like a hard drive to back up the music.)

Or just use an adblocker like uBlock and listen to Deezer and Spotify on their web apps (no interrupting ads).

Wow, thanks for this important detail. I'll be doing it from the Settings menu so I hope there won't be any issues. I'll report back once I've done it. EDIT: It worked without any problems. I disabled screen locks and the Google account (just followed the Android Central instructions) and voila, Bob's your uncle.

Yup, I know a factory reset won't revert it to stable. I'm happy with the beta because everything seems to be working okay. I can't seem to get it to install security updates, but the app updates work. But it's an older phone so I doubt I'd be getting security updates either way. Anyway, the person I'm giving it to will be using it like a dumb phone with a good camera, basically. Thanks for your input!

Ok, good to know! Thank you! 👍

Is... is that a toaster? One that plays cassette tapes? Woah.

You have no idea what they are put through...or rather, what's put into them.

Sure is. Thought I'd add something more serious. No Waldo in here for sure.

Maybe that chimp is Waldo in a chimp suit?

Hah, yeah. Like others, I already use uBlock, and I don't really use Facebook any more. On the other hand, I'm worried about the social implications of not using FB and Messenger. I've been planning to move to secure messaging apps, but it almost feels like you're not a human if you don't have FB. In that regard, I found switching my email provider easier. But I'll remove my account eventually, more likely sooner than later.

Nice move Meta, you just cemented my decision to leave Facebook / Meta for good. Thanks!
