  • ViMusic

    An Android application for streaming music from YouTube Music.

  • If you only care about mobile, there's Android apps coming out like ViMusic which use YouTube like a music platform without you needing an account or anything.

  • Cider

    A new cross-platform Apple Music experience based on Electron and Vue.js written from scratch with performance in mind. ๐Ÿš€

  • Here's a video about this; personally, I use Apple Music via the FOSS client Cider, since it's convenient as Spotify and supports cloud syncing to the Apple Music app. The data still ends up with Apple though, so it's not super privacy-respecting.

  • At a certain point, it's not feasible to use a library offline. I use Navidrome to stream my music over the internet. There are a lot more, namely Ampache, which is slower and way more feature rich. I have a personal domain, music.mydomain.com pointed to my server. All my music is FLAC. SSL encrypted. If you're willing to pay, grab yourself a little VPS and install the software yourself. You can go as cheap as $4 for 256GB.

  • Ampache

    A web based audio/video streaming application and file manager allowing you to access your music & videos from anywhere, using almost any internet enabled device.
