Options for Privacy-friendly Music Streaming
When it comes to music streaming and privacy, one option is to alias your Spotify account using services like SimpleLogin. By purchasing a Spotify gift card from a store and loading it onto your account, you can avoid giving out personal information. Using the Spotify web app, rather than installing it locally, combined with a VPN, ad blocker, and DNS tools, adds extra layers of privacy. Alternatively, Apple Music is considered a better option due to its stronger privacy policy and compatibility with third-party open-source clients like Cider for desktop users.
