much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Gotta pirate it unfortunately. Buy it on band camp and support the artists directly, then host it yourself. Navidrone works great.
tried to go local but the apps are shitty
die-hard poweramp fan here but idk if it also exists for ios
I built an OpenMediaVault NAS and run a JellyFin server on it.. connect with wireguard and stream music with Symfonium I've decided to download on the web.. it's a little work to get there but it's def private as long as you trust the devs. I'd also recommend vimusic for music discovery and web playing.

If you're able and willing to self-host, I've developed a pretty great system that automates my entire process. The app I'm using on mobile is also available on iOS
I buy music from 7Digital and Bandcamp, store the files on Plex Media Server and use PlexAmp for playback on my iOS device.
ViMusic
VLC for iOS?
What kind of psychopath uses Amazon music? Like I'm already appaled people would use apple music, Amazon music just seems mental....
Of the 3 listed, Apple Music is by far the best. And yes, I’ve used all 3.
Android has a fair few foss music apps.
