  • What's your music setup on mobile? 🎵

Where are you buying digital albums these days (besides from Bandcamp
)? Or are most of you still ripping from CDs?

Using Finamp (for my Jellyfin instance) and Deezer.

tuxsudo Thanks for the tip on Symfonium, way better than Finamp :)

    I rip CD's, save the files to pCloud, open the files using pCloud on my 6A, install the music files on the phone then use Muzio player which scans the phone and adds the tracks. Muzio Player presents songs, albums etc, creates playlists and all one would expect. It is a tedious process, always looking for a simpler way, thinking of going back to just using a CD player.

    I seldom listen to music these days, but when I do, it’s from CD’s rips I did on my computer, and which I transfered to the phone over MTP. I use VLC as a music player.

    Spotify with my Sony wf1000xm4 paired with Gadgetbridge.

    It is the only non FOSS app I use on my main profile, I will look at alteratives to this post. Thanks for your suggestions!

    Pixel 6a - GrapheneOS

    For my mobile setup I use Auxio with my Bandcamp FLAC library and my CD library.

    Desktop - Debian - Sid/ Unstable

    For my desktop setup I use Tauon Music Box with my Bandcamp FLAC library and my CD library.

    Audio - Sony WH-1000XM4

    For my Audi setup I use the WH-1000XM4. I fixed my first pair of the XM4 until they broke after wear and tear, bought the same set again instead of the XM5, and I will continue to fix and buy XM4's until they break a second time due to wear and tear.

    ViMusic, it's just a YouTube Music front-end and it tends to cache songs so it takes up a decent amount of space. I love it, free, no ads, and mostly privacy respecting(YouTube backend sure isn't). The only thing I don't like is that I can't really control what gets cached, I wish it were easier just to download any song I choose.

          Libretube and Hyperpipe which is just YT and YT Music.
          I guess Spotify with just Discover Weekly too.
          I used Spotify for years and still have a Subscription because of my family.

          Spotube is great!

          rambleon I checked the link but making a donation does not appear to result in a paid version of the app, unless I am mistaken. The app author has a long explanation about how he is tied to Google and any deviation from their policy means a ban.
          I see this a lot, I wanted one app from the UK, I offered and sent a silver minted coin from Australia, I got thanks for it, but I didn't get a paid app. - Google restrictions. I guess we all hate Google which is why we use GrapheneOS, and all this nonsense makes me hate google more.
