NetEase Music. It’s a spotify clone from China, and the VIP version costs like $1.20 a month.
It doesn’t spy on your phone and requires zero permissions (I’ve tested this extensively), but you will need a VPN set to China, Hong Kong or Taiwan for it to work (assuming you don’t live in either place).
China and doesn’t spy on your phone, I’ll take things that don’t go together for 200 Alex
I’m in China and work as head of IT security for a European company. As such I monitor my phone religiously for any transgressions. Netease Music works with zero permissions (unless you want to use the downloader) and doesn’t try to exfiltrate any data whatsoever.
Install PCAPdroid and see for yourself, you can monitor all traffic on system level on a per app basis.
at the very least, I expect it to make requests for every song you’re streaming which are associated with your account and payment information.
they also get your music consuming habits, because they know the times you listen to music and to which music at each time.
that’s a hell lot of data to analyze and sell.
