The reason I gave up on MP3’s and subscribed to Spotify was because Spotify was easy. I’ve been listening “Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds” song every day and like a week ago, its removed. This was the last straw for me. Right now I’m trying to find “Stremio” of the music world. Can someone assist?

Key features I’m looking for:

  • Synchronization between devices
  • Offline play
  • Playlist support
  • Both desktop and mobile apps
  • Wide music library (optional if I will upload music)
  • Lyrics (optional)

Update: thanks to everyone who shared their solutions 🙏

I use ViMusic, front end for Youtube Music (I think) for Android. Needs to be sideloaded (obviously). You can search up existing playlists. I have not found a single song that can not be found on this app, since it also includes the normal youtube library. It just works. There are other open source front end for spotify that are similar to this, but I’ve been using this for a while, and not found anything bad about it. So highly recommend. Also, the radio function is the best radio function I have ever tested.

Isn’t F-Droid, alternative appstore, just sideloading, made easy?

Yes, but if you have root or a supported rom it can install in the background, like the play store

And it only contains FOSS

I personally use MetroPlayer and downlpad songs with spotiflyer. Spotiflyer just takes a link whether it be spotify or youtube and downloads it. You can put the link of your playlists or just individual songs. Some songs might give errors when downloading from spotify so if that happens use youtube as a backup. I have only had 6 songs fail so far with a playlist full of 700 songs.
