Is there a program I can use to download and browse music, similar to Spotify? (pawb.social)

For a few years now, I've been using and paying for Deezer, but recently they've started to do away with the features that I preferred about their platform, so I'm wondering of there is any options for me here.

What platform are you using?

[-] Interstellar_1@pawb.social 1 points 11 months ago

Deezer. It says in the post

No I mean what OS? Are you wanting for desktop of mobile?

[-] Interstellar_1@pawb.social 1 points 11 months ago

Fedora Linux, and both Android and Desktop. I've already gotten a lit of suggestions, but I'd be happy to also hear yours.

So as people have suggested already there's deemix if you're happy to pay for a Premium subscription. If you want something somewhat more automated there are scripts that can be used with Lidarr to automatically download new releases from deemix.

Of course there's also yt-dl to download from YouTube but the sound quality won't match that of Deezer.

For Android there are apps such as Innertune, SimpMusic or ViMusic which let you stream and download from YouTube Music. There's also Spotiflyer which I believe downloads tracks from YouTube again but links with a Spotify account for playlists etc.

For both Desktop and Android there's also SpotTube which uses a Spotfy library and streams from YouTube Music.
