Is Spotify EU? They're headquartered in Sweden, but they're listed on the New York Stock Exchange, but their largest shareholders are Swedish and British.
Also, Soundcloud probably warrants more information. In no universe would it be someone's primary option but if someone's looking for a specific song that's not in the (limited) Qobuz library then it's a decent fallback.
I'm actually one of the rare only SoundCloud users.. The way I like to discover music can only be done on SoundCloud. I've been with them for 9 years now
Wow! Care to expand a bit on your process?
I used to love Spotify's Discover Weekly but those bastards fixed the adfree cracked one I were using and boy do I miss it.
edit: oh look, they fixed the apk again. Just in time for next weeks Discover Weekly.
It's developed in Sweden, so yeah, that would make it EU.
However it is just as predatory and scummy as a US based company so I wouldn't feel all that great about giving them your money 🤷. Arguably they are about the most unethical choice you could make for a streaming platform.
