That client is also bad. I don’t know why Apple is not creating proper client for Windows.
I am using Cider for a long time.
For the same reason why nobody can update the firmware of their AirPods using an Android device, you didn’t buy enough of their products, and they just don’t give a fuck.
On desktop I use Parabolic to download songs from YouTube.
I use RiMusic on android
Didn’t know about that one, been using Stacher instead.
Innertune for streaming and Jellyfin plus Finamp for my collection. Seal if I need to download. (Pixel 8, GrapheneOS).
I usually listen to radio. I also have 20yo collection from CDs/MP3 era which I like to listen from time to time. Most of it is on my devices (SSD / SD card) but also in nextcloud server, so I can stream it via subsonic to my devices.
I just found gold squid.wtf
Podcasted music with AntennaPod. This is most of my music that I listen to on the go. I use yt-dlp -x to download music from youtube as needed and play locally with mpv, or use mpv to play youtube videos directly.
Audius.co free and no adverts, the downside is that there are no famous bands, only indie artists.
Oh and also grab a good media player. AOSP media player sucks imo, so I use VLC for Android. I mainly use it for looping the videos, but it also has a ton more features.
SoundCloud has a really great recommendation algorithm and doesn’t require an account to use. You can bookmark songs you like.
I use Auxio to play locally stored music.
I’m also looking to the Tangara music player, to move away from the fact that the Pixel 5a was the last Google Pixel smartphone that can run GrapheneOS - but I need to experiment more with the device before being comfortable with Tangara for listening to music.
i download it and use musicbee on pc and metro on android to play it.
I guess YT music is the best option for listening music according to your taste. Easy to use and manage all types of music library easily.
Not sure where/who to report this to but I’m 90% sure this user is a bot. I was suspicious when I saw almost all of their messages are ads for other services written in a really bot like manner. If you search for the username of this person you find a deviantart page that’s clearly used for advertising. There’s a link to a site called tweaklibrary that looks like it’s used to advertise other services for the most part as well.
I buy my music digitally and download all .flac files to all my devices.
Lately finamp because it has real time transcoding
I’ve been using TIDAL for a few months now and loving it. Has the best UI I’ve seen, and easily the best sound quality I’ve heard. In general they are just more artist-focused as well.
There’s still a few things I’m getting used to after switching from Spotify, but I’ve been enjoying my music more than ever before with TIDAL honestly. Not having to deal with procuring music manually, or sift through Spotify’s UI and inconsistient quality has made a huge difference I never anticipated.
