what do y'all recommend to listen to music? I like the apps, don't particularly like spotify.

Edit - if anyone had the same question, I installed nuclear off github, it connects to online services to stream music on your devices. Working well so far! Not quite the same as Spotify in terms of functionality but it's decent

    For real, pirate your music, store it, back it up. So often music gets taken down and then you can't get it anymore.

    Otherwise, Bandcamp has streaming and if you do buy the music you get high quality files to download. They only take a 15% cut and give the rest to artists.

    As far as pirating music goes, I recommend the P2P client Soulseek.

    in seriousness, I don't know what to recommend on mobile. I'm using gonemad media player classic from 10 years ago because my phone is old and I don't like exploring new apps
