Is Spotify EU? They're headquartered in Sweden, but they're listed on the New York Stock Exchange, but their largest shareholders are Swedish and British.
Also, Soundcloud probably warrants more information. In no universe would it be someone's primary option but if someone's looking for a specific song that's not in the (limited) Qobuz library then it's a decent fallback.
It's developed in Sweden, so yeah, that would make it EU.
However it is just as predatory and scummy as a US based company so I wouldn't feel all that great about giving them your money 🤷. Arguably they are about the most unethical choice you could make for a streaming platform.
