Kakao M removes 31% of my playlist, my current faves are gone from Spotify

I use the iTunes desktop version

You have to download all the songs mp3 manually though, unless you want to buy all the individual songs...

Youtube works too!

I just switched to the free 3-month Apple Music hoping within that time Spotify has the songs back.

After reading the statement, it sounds like this might be awhile. Spotify seems to stress they have been trying to reach an agreement down to the wire and still nothing worked out.

Kakao is the smaller company and probably has more to lose and their artist/agencies management agencies will be upset with them. Groups like Loona who have more international appeal, need Spotify.

Spotify on the other hand will be fine. They may take a hit from kpop fans leaving, but i’d say majority of their music base isn’t listening to kpop. Not to mention Big 4 artist are still available.

Which means, Spotify can hold out longer than Kakao. Spotify can take the hit financially more than Kakao can have 10+ agencies calling them worried about their groups.

anyways Apple Music>>>>>
