Any alternatives for iOS? I’m sick of the search defaulting to Apple Music the streaming service

The fax app on their website is a great solution to having the ability to send a fax without subscribing to anything.

Is it possible to get lunch in SF for $10!?

Any alt- Apple Music players for Windows? The Apple Music app on Windows has a lot of “native platform app” shortcomings.

Modern player is not only about UIUX but also which music storage it supports, DLNA, Plex, Jellyfin, that’s the main feature users will be checking. If it’s just AppleMusic player.

Well, considering it's an Apple Music frontend… that's really the point, isn't it?

https://www.cesium-app.com was great for me for a long time. I forgot why I quit using it, but I don't think it was because it stopped being great.
