I am trying to move away from spotify but am really stuck. Ytm has opensource mobile apps that can directly use ytm and its recommendations but spotify doesn’t have any decent option, but i like the recommendations more in spotify.

Ytm is very much connected to youtube it has videos and audio mixed up, its so bad. Also it needs to enable youtube history in order to save history of songs. I only consider it bcz of mobile apps solutions.

Spotify is what i really want to use but it doesn’t have foss app. But atleast it just records music and not get connected everywhere. Only downside is that i would be using propriety app which may have more trackers.

It comes does to which one to trust spotify or Google

What do you say?

    This doesn’t beat foss, but if you’re willing to meet halfway, you can do Spotify for cheap. It’s about $15 a year by taking advantage of their regional pricing in India. Method is to go on Amazon.in and buy a years GC to Spotify, then log into Spotify via VPN in India, then apply the GC.
