Hello everyone! I have been de-googling my life for a few years. I don't have official YouTube clients anymore. At this point I use PipePipe, a fork from New Pipe to watch videos.

But as a Spotify and YouTube Music replacement, I am currently using Outer Tune.

My problem is that with or without Proton VPN usage I get errors again and again. despite closing the app, switching off the VPN etc. At this point it's impossible for me use Outer Tune any longer.

What are you using?

claryfication:

on the long run im looking to build a offline media vault. but for the moment. i want to use a Spotifiy alternative, where there are suggastions... for new music that i like.

i tried Rimusic a while ago can't say why i find't like it anymore.

i love making playlist offline with it and PipePipe is a dream but its not right for me for music

I'm using SoundCloud via the browser. I enjoy the suggestions, keeping things fresh.

For offline on mobile I use their app which does have an offline mode for your "Liked" songs and specific playlists.

If I wanted an offline library proper, I'd sail the high seas but I personally do not feel the need for it for now.
