@guigsy not sure actually, I never got into using streaming services myself, I just like having music files.

What I ended up doing was to dump music on my own nextcloud, and use it as my private streaming service.

Obviously not a solution for everyone though.

@yogthos @guigsy There are plenty of apps that will let you download songs from YouTube Music without having an account. On Android there are also apps that will let you stream from there without an account and without ads, with recommendations and everything. I like RiMusic and SimpMusic.

@freakazoid @yogthos @guigsy Googlebet hates it when anyone mentions and uses #invidious. But thereโ€™s not a thing they can really do about it, haha.

@Shufei @yogthos @guigsy They can, but it would involve breaking a lot of older players. I imagine the medium to long term plan is DRM.

@freakazoid @Shufei @yogthos Google have no issues with breaking stuff that's working perfectly if they aren't making advertising money from it.

@guigsy @Shufei @yogthos I figure that's the clock, ultimately. When they no longer feel they're making more money on players that would be broken by DRM than they're losing by not using DRM, they'll pull the trigger.

I've been using NewPipe for years now, and it's my personal favorite.

@yogthos @guigsy Nextclouds should be run as metropolitan public utilities. Thereโ€™s no reason they canโ€™t.

Local music files I actually own is what I've settled on too. I built up my intial collection with a bunch of used CDs bought on clearance for 50ยข each at a local used book store.

@yogthos @guigsy Tidal is the highest (or second) payer to musicians per play and still hasn't announced any layoffs. The bar is low, I know haha
