I’ve recently moved to pixel/graphene and I’m looking for a more open replacement for spotify.
I installed a bunch from F-droid to test (newpipe, pipepipe, libretube, RiMusic, SpMp, SimpmMusic, InnertTune, ViMusic, etc)
I’m testing them all but I’m a bit overwhelmed with choice.
I’d like to find something that lets me control the music from my desktop, either through KDE connect or a standalone app. FOSS / F-droid preferred
I plan to start maintaining my library locally but I still need some kind of streaming solution.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts
EDIT: I’m not interested in a paid subscription service, if I was ok with that I would have stayed on spotify. Thanks for all responses.
Spotube !
Idk if you will like it. It’s kinda buggy but it’s updated often. It’s opensource. And there is a desktop version. You can connect your spotify account so you can listen your type of music (playlist etc too) without ad. It is totaly free. If you dont want to connect an spotify account it is also ok. No account needed
I also think you can control the music from phone to pc like spotify do but I’m no sure about that one
And F-Droid
Innertune works well for me
I buy most of my music and use Navidrome to stream it. Tempo is a great android app and the Navidrome web app is solid
I just lookup stuff on YouTube via NewPipe; sometimes I might rip a Bandcamp album and listen to it with a media player (Metro)
I used YouTube music revanced but I’m not sure if it has all the features you would like
