I want to get off spotify, but I want a way to discover new music, and be notified of new music from bands I listen to. I don't want ads, and I'm fine with piracy so long it is a relatively painless experience. Something like stremio but for music.
My dream service would be one that could recommend music based on a given song, and provide details about the artist and things. And even better version would have an API I could tap into so I could connect the service to music assistant. Hell I'll make a (mostly) locally hosted version of the spotify dj if I can.
Soundcloud has ads
βοΈπ€ Not with PipePipe or Tubular. They're NewPipe forks I use former for YT videos generally, latter for Soundcloud/Bandcamp βΎοΈ piracy (Metrolist for YT music), keeps queues separate but that may not be desirable. Metrolist is less reliable for avoiding YT blocking, but it has better caching. All have decent listings of offline listens.
It has??? I have never listened to any
Depends on what you're listening to I guess. Or you have ad block (I need this for my phone)
I use the app in my phone and have never heard any ad.
