I’ve had an Apple Music subscription for years and use it A LOT. I tried some alternatives (Tidal, Sirius, and maybe one other?) and wasn’t super happy with the options.
Is there a service that people recommend that is good, like $10/month or less, maybe gives better pay to artists? I’d like to spend on a better company if possible too. If Apple has enough money to buy gold trinkets for elected officials they probably don’t need more from me.
I carry around my music as mp3 files on my phone. It’s also stored on a NAS at home and I could stream it via my own jellyfin instance, but its just more convenient to have it on my phone.
I use foldersync to download any music I add to my NAS onto my phone every night automatically.
Finamp is worth it if you’re looking for a music player behind Jellyfin, offline downloads and capable of transcoding the files down to AAC to save on storage usage.
