>I just want something that plays music
If you're concerned about privacy or security, I recommend not using any streaming service. You should just load the music you want to listen to onto your device, and use your local music player. You could also listen to an internet radio service like DI.fm which provides raw .pls files for use in any app.
- nmrm2 11y agoThis advice operates from a mindset that both privacy and security risks are binary. They are not+. A third-party app that gives access to X,Y, and Z permissions is a larger security risk than an equivalent app that only has permissions for X. So if an app only needs X in its current version but requests Y and Z, then it is introducing unnecessary risk. + See e.g. https://systemoverlord.com/blog/2014/09/05/security-not-a-binary-state/ https://systemoverlord.com/blog/2014/09/05/security-not-a-bi...
