Hello there! What is the best music app that you are using? I feel my headset is being underused that's why I'm looking for a great music app. I tried Spotify and YouTube Music and I usually play LOFI music. What do you usually use? Hope you can help me. Thanks!

Speaking from a purely personal perspective and how I access music, my two most-used apps are iTunes/Music on my Macs and iPhone and MusicStreamer on my iPhone. I don't subscribe to Spotify, Deezer, Tidal etc but prefer to own my music. I've set up a computer to stream music over wifi at home and access it using the apps I mentioned. It works well enough for me. I should say that the reason I use MusicStreamer instead of the Music app to access the shared iTunes library on the media server is that Apple has totally crippled the Music app's functionality. It takes for-effing-ever to load the library on the phone. With MusicStreamer it's instantly there.

Just my two proverbial cents.

For my local audio files in Linux, I use KDE Elisa. 4g 5g streaming is too expensive where I live.

This is my first time to hear about it. Is this a paid app? Can you add radio stations too?

Elisa is free app for Linux KDE desktop and yes, there is radio option, but last time I used radio, it wasn't great.

I tried Elisa but, I can't say its the best. Though, one thing that is good in the app is it allows to browse music by album, artist or all tracks. As to the radio, I agree in the comment above, its not great.

Is this for Linux only or there is a way to make it available for Windows? A friend of mine told me that the interface is probably what I will like the most about Elisa.

It's only for Linux, but yeah, the interface is better of any free music app for Windows, there is animated album art and nice blurred background.
