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?

What device are you wanting this for? If Android, I just stumbled upon ViMusic which looks like what you're lookinh for.

Yes, on Android. Thanks for this! I initially brushed it off since I didn't see the "Import playlists" feature!

There's a web app I quite like called HyperPipe, which can be installed as a PWA on Android, iOS, Windows and Linux. It's similar to Beatbump, but this actually works!

This is awesome! Thanks for suggesting!

How does it actually work pulling music from YouTube Music for free/no-ads?
