I've recently moved to pixel/graphene and I'm looking for a more open replacement for spotify.

I installed a bunch from F-droid to test (newpipe, pipepipe, libretube, RiMusic, SpMp, SimpmMusic, InnertTune, ViMusic, etc)

I’m testing them all but I’m a bit overwhelmed with choice.

I'd like to find something that lets me control the music from my desktop, either through KDE connect or a standalone app. FOSS / F-droid preferred

I plan to start maintaining my library locally but I still need some kind of streaming solution.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

EDIT: I'm not interested in a paid subscription service, if I was ok with that I would have stayed on spotify. Thanks for all responses.

You should be able to control every music streaming app from the desktop notification if you use KDE Connect. I use Tidal nowadays, which isn't open source but it's a very good streaming service. It normally costs 11€/month but the family plan is 17€/month for up to 6 people. Even if you only have 2 people in the plan it's a lot cheaper than the individual plan or Spotify.
