    That’s what i have decide to do but in future. I feel streaming services really took the fun of trying to discover songs on your own finding your new favourites were a hobby in the past and also the songs you find yourself stick with you for the longest. Also the algorithm is not at all 100% accurate there are hit and miss. Mostly misses. So i have gone to traditional way of doing things but with a foss spice in it. Goodbye spotify and youtube music. Still i have to use youtube but atleast i can use it logged out and still get good recs. For now I have made playlists in invidious and will move it to self hosted solutions. I dont have time nor knowledge nor can i afford it for now. Tq all who replied.

    Simply bcz I like foss.I have moved to other opensource alternatives to popular apps so it was the only app that wasn’t. Also bcz I use obtanium to install apps, installing spotify meant to install using apkpure links which maybe unsafe, and if I want a modified app, first have to install xmanager.

    I said that but its also true that streaming and opensource are a bad match. I tried to go full invidious and play songs via invidious client called clipous, its excellent video player but I missed spotify’s mixes and recs.

    While google is just evil, but youtube is really intimidating cuz it has a lot of foss apps that can just sync the liked songs, take recs from ytm and play songs.
