NetEase Music. It’s a spotify clone from China, and the VIP version costs like $1.20 a month.
It doesn’t spy on your phone and requires zero permissions (I’ve tested this extensively), but you will need a VPN set to China, Hong Kong or Taiwan for it to work (assuming you don’t live in either place).
What alternatives do you guys use besides Bandcamp? I am open to paying a sub as long as the artist is getting a decent cut.
Tidal seems nice
Can confirm. Tidal has “lossless” audio, but app is horrendous, albeit better than Spotify’s.
Also tech support is absolutely useless, still would prefer over Spotify every time.
Honestly love its Daily Recommendations
Pirate and buy official merch, they make more of that anyway. Also live shows
Buying the music and selfhosting a streaming server is an option, though obviously not for everyone
buy the cd and rip them into your phone

China and doesn’t spy on your phone, I’ll take things that don’t go together for 200 Alex
