Hi! I am interested in getting a new app for playing music. Until now, I've been on the Spotify paid tier, but I hardly use it lately in order to justify keeping the subscription. I still have quite a few playlists that I would not like losing, though.

I've been looking around, and the only app I've found that's very nice is BlackHole. However, after looking at it closer, I realized that it uses some API from India that only returns Indian music when you try to import/search. I had a good laugh on that one, after seeing all my imported playlists full of Bollywood music!

I continued my search, but I can't really find something that allows you to import playlists from various services. SpoTube is nice, but it takes a long time to play songs (sometimes up to 1 minute or more after pressing the play button).

So, my question: What do you guys use to listen to music?

To piggy back on this - is there any Foss for discovering new music?
