Podcasts count? Huberman Lab has been such a life-changing listen! Lots of great information about sleep and how our body functions

First of all, I love this thread as I keep finding new stuff I've never heard about. HyperPipe is awesome and it eases my anxiety that there are still private options for music. For foobar, the iOS app is pretty snappy, though it's missing a queue feature. A feature as simple as that is kind of a deal breaker for me. Any hope that there'll be future updates to the iOS app?

Getting/syncing music isn't really a major problem for me, a decent audio player (with minimal features such as a queue and a decent UI) is what I'm trying to find.

Any opensource music players for iOS you recommend? I found Flacbox which seems alright (a little buggy but you can't win them all, can you?)

I'm going insane. I cannot for the life of me find a suitable way to listen to music privately. I'm on iOS, and I don't know whether to just stick to Apple Music or give up on music in general (I tried, TRIED to go local, but all the apps are shitty). Any way to listen to music and not have your data compromised? Should I just stick to Apple Music and hope that laws change (maybe something like EU's DMA?)

Edit: Hey all! First of all, thank you so much for all the recommendations! I've discovered so many great apps and tools I didn't even know existed (and it has also brought my hopes up for privacy in general). Even though it's still not perfect, I've been using foobar2000 on iOS, downloading music I find (I'm still using Apple Music for discovery, but will probably stop when my subscription ends this month). For desktop I'm using HyperPipe, which although a little buggy at times is so awesome! One thing I do miss about this system is the lack of lyrics. Apple Music has such a beautiful UI when it comes with lyrics, but you can't have it all when it comes to privacy it seems. Thanks for the amazing discussion! I'm so far loving Lemmy ;)
