Music streaming : are they all tracking us?

Anyone tried MusicPiped on f-droid?

The new open-sourced client app for Bandcamp — bandcampDirect

And seems like NewPipe supprts SoundCloud playback. (Didn’t check it myself.)

MusicPiped works but it’s a bit buggy.

Just tested NewPipe’s SoundCloud integration (beta-feature) — it plays! The GUI and mechanics are terrible for the moment, but it works at least.

Shame on me: I am an Apple Music subscriber

Does Apple Music work on /e/?
Thanks for feedback

Not so much shame, if the app isolated properly.

Newpipe is pretty amazing, I’ve been using it for a while now. But for videos,not for music library.

Like you I was using Newpipe from years but during the last weeks it was not working. I am trying to install latest version but no way I have a message that the authorisation are missing??? Same message with all versions

it is working fine for me, using version 0.18.3 on a test version of Pie

Working fine as well for me now. 0.18.4!
Thanks

Blade, the only open-sourced Spotify/Deezer client I know, has been suddenly updated first time in a year and a half and now available in Goolag Play with no trackers inside!

The Blade app looks half-dead, but seems like I’ve discovered something much better – Freezer. This is an up-to-date third-party client for Deezer, with open source code and some small piracy features.

are you still satisfied of freezer ?
why isn’t it on F-Droid, /e/ App or aurora store ?
(i’d like to know about trackers and permissions before installing it).

TrackerControl

TrackerControl allows to monitor and control hidden data collection in apps.
This may help.

Freezer is dead. But you can still use various modifications of the official Deezer app to minimize tracking.

I have Deezer installed.
Can you tell me what could i do to minimize tracking, if you know/remember ?
(i use DoH, so i can’t block trackers with TrackerControl).

I am an Apple Music subscriber as well (for now). They pay the highest fees to artists from all the known streaming services and with AdGuard installed, I see no advertising. It works very well on /e/, including seeing the lyrics, which I greatly miss on my Linux computer (where I listen via web).

I can’t remember if I installed it on /e/ via Apps, apkeep, or F-Droid, but at worst case, Aurora has it, via anonymous download.

Why is freezer dead? i use it every day… Also have Apple music installed, but prefer freezer :joy:

As external aids, the XPrivacyLua and AdAway are useful when DoH/VPN are deployed. But there is an option to use modified versions of the applications where telemetry and all junk are forcibly turned off.

Development is suspended, websites have vanished, new releases are not expected.

Oh did not know freezer development stopped… It stil works, but thats really sad. I pay for Apple music, but don’t like the app. It has 2 trackers, and don.t like the GUI. Time for an open source music client.
