I would like to switch away from Apple Music, and Spotify despite being a European company, is not a desirable option for me. What music streaming services would you recommend?
I managed to download a text-only list of the albums in my Apple Music library, so if there’s a simple library import option then that would also be very helpful.
pirate for offline storage, and use what you’d pay for the subscription to buy an album on Bandcamp if you really like it. you get to keep your music forever, and your favourite artists get to eat.
I’ve switched to qobuz and like it.
If you are technically inclined: self host Jellyfin, use one of the various music streaming apps for it. Put the money you would have paid for x years of subscription into buying the albums.
Here is a comparison:
Qobuz vs Apple Music
Qubuz pays artist 1.8c per stream French Small Company
Apple Music pays artist 1.0c per stream American More Selection
I’m trying out Qobuz as they partnered with Soundiz so transferring all your music is pretty easy.
Soundcloud. German 🙂👌
Deezer, french service
Sadly owned to a large part by an american investment company
It is not even owned at 50% by this company, so I wouldn’t call it alrge.
True, but 40% is definitely not small either
