What's a good FREE music streaming service that isn't run by the devil? (fedia.io)

I've been trying to get off of Spotify for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to spend on a Deezer or Tidal subscription, which is required to listen to more than 30 seconds of a song. I also have an extremely large playlist that needs transferring, so I need an unlimited version of FreeYourMusic if it exists. Thanks! Edit: Thanks for all the replies and advice! Unfortunately, I'm too stupid for almost all of it, but I appreciate it anyways. The solution I went with is using Newpipe on Android and a Spotify adblocker called Blockify on pc. Have a good day!

You can throw some money at artists periodically, some random $10 donation to whatever their fan site or on merch will probably net them more than a lifetime of listening to their stuff on Spotify, since streaming revenues add up to roughly five atoms of currency per stream or so.

How does one go about that activity?

There's a comm on lemmy.dbzer0.com. Alternatively, google FMHY. When I bailed from Spotify, I just used SpotDL to download all my music a playlist at a time. Worked fine, but might be a bit beyond your skill level to set that up.

Looks like it. I should probably start learning a bit about this sort of thing.

If you haven’t yet, I recommend checking out Soulseek
