Hi! I am interested in getting a new app for playing music. Until now, I’ve been on the Spotify paid tier, but I hardly use it lately in order to justify keeping the subscription. I still have quite a few playlists that I would not like losing, though.

I’ve been looking around, and the only app I’ve found that’s very nice is BlackHole. However, after looking at it closer, I realized that it uses some API from India that only returns Indian music when you try to import/search. I had a good laugh on that one, after seeing all my imported playlists full of Bollywood music!

I continued my search, but I can’t really find something that allows you to import playlists from various services. SpoTube is nice, but it takes a long time to play songs (sometimes up to 1 minute or more after pressing the play button).

So, my question: What do you guys use to listen to music?

This right here. Everytime I hop to a new service, I use soundizz. Works perfectly for me and I have a lot of Playlists. The free tier is pretty limited. I think it only let’s you do 50 songs at a time, or something like that. It’s worth it to pay for one month, transfer everything, and then cancel.

Amazon music is decent. Apple music is pretty good. Tidal is awesome, but last time I used them I thought their algorithms were kinda weak.

I actually use YouTube music myself because I have YouTube premium. I also use a yt-dl to download my music, and have it all backed up to a NAS.
