iMusic doesn’t exist. The “i” died with Jobs 15 years ago.
I’ve used Apple Music with AAS 3-4 years ago and it worked great on my 10 III with AirPods Pro 2.

I’m not sure if any 3rd party app can legally stream Apple Music though.

There will be one if you make one.

Cider does it on Linux and there is a Apple Music app for Android. But i hope Cider wil Bring apple music to a native sailfish.

@attah im not a developer. As a network guy i can program a little. But porting app’s en reshape gui’s is not expertise

Still… learning seems much more likely to succeed than asking others to do it.

That’s good news then to everyone who needs this service.
Personally I went back to owning my music instead of renting it from giant corps, but I understand this might not work for everyone these days.

Dit not asked to do others. Asked if there is allready. That something completely different.

Learning? do i say that you and every developer need learn cybers and Network security, if asked something about it?

Software developers are known throughout the IT industry for their poor knowledge of security and networking. But I don’t hold that against them, because everyone has their own area of expertise.

That’s why I ask area experts rather than trying to learn it myself; if I publish something whilst my knowledge is still insufficient, I might end up causing problems for others with a crashing app or, worse still, a crashing phone

hmm renting is included by apple family and it is easy.

Owning music is fun, but it’s often time-consuming. And ultimately, it’s more expensive and worse for the environment. Why waste electricity and storage space on one-hit wonders you’ll never listen to again? Music streaming services also make listening much more flexible whilst on holiday, travelling or at parties where everyone wants to listen to their own music straight away.

Research has been carried out on this in the Netherlands Zo vervuilend is het sturen van een mail | NPO Radio 1

Everyone should use whatever they want.
As I said for me owning works best because I ended up streaming mostly the same bands, songs, albums.
You can own your music digitally as well, not only with physical copies.

I don’t know what parties you are talking about that I will plug my phone though. I’m not a teen anymore :smiley:

In simple words: control. Renting is nice, flexible , but one day the band/ artist is not anymore available for rent. Reasons are many, usually contracts etc. = money. If you have a physical copy you congrol it.

Valid concern with sfos. I programmed a dictation app based on whisper, only to later discover Speech Note and its related keyboard already existed. I thought I had searched! Jolla store. Harbour. Storeman. Chum…

Shoulda asked.

Excatly.

You’re absolutely right – I’m 100 per cent in favour of freedom of choice, and I’m not against owning things either. When it comes to music, I still use physical media myself.

I’m starting to become a bit of a dinosaur in the IT world too. But get-togethers like neighbourhood barbecues, garden parties, campfires during the holidays and so on are still great fun. And at those occasions, I personal I really enjoy being able to quickly play different styles of music chosen by others who are there.

I only buy music that I can put on a turntable and watch it spin :slight_smile: But, I’m one of those people who only buys music to listen to it. Not while I’m doing something else, but to sit down and listen to it.

I guess all music service are working with AAS.

Can confirm Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify, Amazon Music and Qobuz (the latter my personal favourite becsuse you can buy Hi-Res music at thrir store and own it). Bandcamp and Soundcloud can be accessed with native Apps.

So an option for everyone should exist… :wink:

We even have a native Tidal app!

The same here. And everytime i asked for a download (especially for using in car), I got it.
Main reason for me for owning vs streaming: availability devalues
