I switched to Qobuz about two weeks ago. I've been really impressed.
Is this FOSS? Is it on GitHub or can I get it from another app store like F-Droid?

Back in the day, Grooveshark was the king before all these subscription guys showed up.

Don't threaten, just do it!
I don't get why people are so stubborn to move away from corporate products.

There are fans of Spotify?
It's their silly little way of saying conned subscription holders.

Personally, the open source community's aversion to algorithms is what's holding me back. Say what you will about them, but I've found many great songs thanks to Spotify's algo.

No account or subscription required.
Hundreds of internet radio stations. Some are ad-supported, some are ad-free but you can contribute to the station's patreon.

Already did this ages ago. Been building a collection for decades now. I'm pushing about 10k albums on the NAS. Haven't had spotify since like 2018

Well... with streaming services people don't actually have anything, because nothing in there is theirs to own

Soulseeks recommendation algorithm is top notch, almost organic. You click the 'browse users files' button.

I have never in my entire life paid for a streaming service. I didn't stop pirating when Netflix was the only game in town and cost $8 / month. I didn't pay for streaming even when every normie started getting internet access and "everyone was doing it". Even during the high point of my life where I was not only gainfully employed but also able to accumulate savings I STILL never had a streaming service. You could count the self hosting spotify clone I made as a "streaming service" but I'm not paying extra money or probably supporting people with different ideological beliefs than me in order to use it so that really doesn't count.

If you're just looking for an engine that recommends you music based off your likes, the FOSS community could utilize the Music Genomoe Project to build a tool too do that based one a folder or Playlist of music provided to it. I would be surprised if there already wasn't a FOSS tool to do that.

sure. though it would be easier to talk someone into jumping off a bridge than to convince them to give up something they mostly hate but enjoy one crucial feature of

I'd prefer my internet free...
Like other medias before, internet probably has reached a need for some harder control. I'm not talking about porn, I'm talking about disinformation, bots and soon AI.
Not sure which is the best way but I'll not give any id or credit card to any randim site in order to see their content.

The effect is still the same these companies are given access to my personal information because the government wants to monitor our activity online
Well, actually anybody is trying to monitor your activity online in this moment. But thinking to what Trumo is doing right now probably I wouldn't like to do it as well.

Latest Spotify crackdowns on revanced apps and a very recent GrayJay plugin issues made me look into Spotify cracking scene. I found an app that works. But for how long?

You have more albums than I have individual files, I don't even know where I would find so much to download.
I usually just get it from YouTube currently

YouTube music won't play in the background though, so it's a pain whilst driving and navigating traffic or routes. Some of my friends make playlists on there and share them, so I do use it sometimes.
But absolutely use the service that brings you joy, not the ones that I prefer!

It does for me though? Unless you don't pay I guess? On android you can patch this with revanced, or use custom players

Hmm could you tell me where, so that I can avoid that place?
