Iโm going insane. I cannot for the life of me find a suitable way to listen to music privately. Iโm on iOS, and I donโt 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 EUโs DMA?)
Edit: Hey all! First of all, thank you so much for all the recommendations! Iโve discovered so many great apps and tools I didnโt even know existed (and it has also brought my hopes up for privacy in general). Even though itโs still not perfect, Iโve been using foobar2000 on iOS, downloading music I find (Iโm still using Apple Music for discovery, but will probably stop when my subscription ends this month). For desktop Iโm 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 canโt have it all when it comes to privacy it seems. Thanks for the amazing discussion! Iโm so far loving Lemmy ;)
Iโm not sure thatโs totally true. The iOS ecosystem is very intertwined. Itโs possible that the Music app isnโt sending data to Apple, but it is likely sharing it with whatever Apple calls the launcher, which likely shares it with Apple (or shares it with Siri or another app, which shares it with Apple).
