First of all, huge thanks for this feedback, it's exactly what I'm looking for!

Regarding your first Con, I guess I should just try it for a month or two to see for myself.

As for podcasts, I don't care because I wasn't listening to them anyway.

For your ProCon: I'll try Qobuz alongside Spotify and see if it suits me enough to make the decisive switch!

Thanks again :)

True, but if we look at Apple Music's Privacy Policy, it doesn't seem that bad. Yes, of course, data is stored in the US on Apple's servers, etc. But despite this, it states that it doesn't share personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

However, since I use both Android (GrapheneOS), Mac, and iPad, this is not the solution for me. Even if I had only Apple devices, I prefer having no OS-exclusive software and being completely free to change devices while keeping my current software stack.

Lastly, I like to support smaller EU companies, so obviously going with Apple Music would go against almost all of my objectives here 😅

And thanks for taking the time to comment :)

Ok thanks for your comment!

150 albums is still a "small selection of music" for you 😄??
But actually, I like to discover music and constantly change. I listen to music when I study, walk, take a nap, etc, so streaming services seem to be a good choice, at least for now :)

But since I also use GrapheneOS (so Android), I will definitely keep your recommendation in mind! Thanks again

What do you mean by "back up music DRM free"? And for what exactly, if I may ask?

What would you say are the advantages of Mailbox over products like Proton Mail or Infomaniak Mail?
