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.
What's your music setup on mobile? 🎵
I listen to the radio mostly.
I usually use URL Radio:

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.
Qobuz all the way!
VLC
Auxio is one of my favorite ones.
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.

This, except that when I buy new music I can almost always buy a digital flac download and skip the CD step. Presto, qobuz, bandcamp, are a few sources for downloadable flac purchases.
Until my recent switch to a new phone with GrapheneOS, I kept my music library on a 512GB microSD card in my phone, and used Musicolet as the player. Classical and Jazz play a large part in my music collection so a player that can search and browse by composer and other tags is important, and I haven't found anything that is nearly as good in an Android music app.
(I'm not sure what I'll do post switch...I missed the fact that this Pixel doesn't have a SD card slot, and I didn't go for a large enough amount of memory to just dump it all into the internal storage. I probably don't need to have my music collection on my phone right now anyway, and can play it from my laptop, or use my old phone when need be.)

I personally use Qobuz. Outstanding streaming service and high quality audio for most music they do have available. And considering the amount of music I listen to, it is more cost effective for me to stream my music rather than purchase it outright.
