I’m looking for a FOSS alternative to Spotify, preferably one that works across Android, MacOS, and Windows.
Does anything like that exist?
- On Android, I’m using ViMusic. Works great!
- On MacOS, I’ve tried nuclear and Spotube. Neither seems to work great.
- Haven’t tried anything on Windows yet.
Suggestions appreciated. Thanks lemmy!
FOSS doesn’t mean that you can’t be paid for it… Maybe you meant that copyright needs a lot of money and so does building a streaming service
That’s true. However, FOSS usually means that it’s free (F) and open-source (OS). Music isn’t usually open source - they don’t usually share the sheet music or allow free editing/covering/forking of the music. So the worlds don’t completely mesh. You can look at a FOSS solution for managing music, but you won’t find a ton of FOSS music.
