Out of curiosity, why not go for something that supports Linux out of the box? Why stock to mainstream?

Flatpaks are a lot easier than appimages though I still default to my distros native packages if available.

PopOS and Manjaro are two I never liked.

No that is a stereo mic lead, hence the two rings.

I chose India and I pay with a UK debit card SK can’t see why US would be any different. Only needed the VPN for signup.

At this point I’m waiting for the them to put a stop to my VPNed price of £1.81 for a family plan but they keep allowing it.

So as people have suggested already there’s deemix if you’re happy to pay for a Premium subscription. If you want something somewhat more automated there are scripts that can be used with Lidarr to automatically download new releases from deemix.

Of course there’s also yt-dl to download from YouTube but the sound quality won’t match that of Deezer.

For Android there are apps such as Innertune, SimpMusic or ViMusic which let you stream and download from YouTube Music. There’s also Spotiflyer which I believe downloads tracks from YouTube again but links with a Spotify account for playlists etc.

For both Desktop and Android there’s also SpotTube which uses a Spotfy library and streams from YouTube Music.

No I mean what OS? Are you wanting for desktop of mobile?

What platform are you using?

OpenSUSE TW for me. Used to be Arch but it’s just too much faff for me.

How do you manage to confuse there and their this much?

OpenSUSE with Mesa drivers.

I have a 5700XT and Wayland is basically unusable.

It doesn’t work much better on AMD unfortunately.

Innertune is the best at the moment if you ask me but there’s also Simp Music. ViMusic has ceased development but is the same idea just with a different style UI.

SpotTube let’s you login with your Spotify account so you have access to your library and playlists but I find the app to be buggy and just generally ugly.

People bragging about modded Spotify always confuse me when there are plenty of better open source options utilising YouTube Music.

I gave up with pipewire and just switched to pulseaudio. All issues gone.

Pipewire doesn’t work in games for me so I switched back to Pulse. No issues since.

The best thing I ever did was abandon TrueNAS and move to Debian. TrueCharts were a fucking nightmare and constantly required maintenance or even fresh installs.

Qobuz-dl.
