I'm with you. I save copies of all my music files externally.

For those who still want to stream though, use Metrolist. Works exactly the same as Spotify and is a FOSS/No Ads product. I made a YT video about it recently.

    Hmm this is a bit of a silly question but does Metrolist require to have a YouTube Music Subscription?

    I'm quite surprised the github page doesn't mention that. It just says you have to be in a region where YT music is available.

    Nope. No sub required.

    Thanks for the quick response!

    Also is it possible to export your playlists in any way?

    One of the ways Spotify keeps me "captive" is by making it difficult to export playlists so it makes migrating difficult.

    So I would be tempted to move to another streaming platform but I would prefer to stay in control of my playlists.

    Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, metrolist looks really neat.

    I know you can sign in with your youtube account. You might be able to port them to youtube music and then see them in metrolist if that makes sense.

    Now that I think about it, if the playlist are indeed stored on Google's servers, I could probably also use google takeout to require my personnal data. It's what pipepipe/newpipe uses to dump subscriptions from YT.
