I am trying to move away from spotify but am really stuck. Ytm has opensource mobile apps that can directly use ytm and its recommendations but spotify doesn't have any decent option, but i like the recommendations more in spotify.

Ytm is very much connected to youtube it has videos and audio mixed up, its so bad. Also it needs to enable youtube history in order to save history of songs. I only consider it bcz of mobile apps solutions.

Spotify is what i really want to use but it doesn't have foss app. But atleast it just records music and not get connected everywhere. Only downside is that i would be using propriety app which may have more trackers.

It comes does to which one to trust spotify or Google

I use jellyfin and Symfonium on my android phone. On desktop I use Feishin to access my jellyfin library.

That's what i have decide to do but in future. I feel streaming services really took the fun of trying to discover songs on your own finding your new favourites were a hobby in the past and also the songs you find yourself stick with you for the longest. Also the algorithm is not at all 100% accurate there are hit and miss. Mostly misses. So i have gone to traditional way of doing things but with a foss spice in it. Goodbye spotify and youtube music. Still i have to use youtube but atleast i can use it logged out and still get good recs. For now I have made playlists in invidious and will move it to self hosted solutions. I dont have time nor knowledge nor can i afford it for now. Tq all who replied.
