Have a copy of all your music and use syncthing if apple allows it that is. Otherwise get a deegoogled android running grapheneOS
Getting/syncing music isn't really a major problem for me, a decent audio player (with minimal features such as a queue and a decent UI) is what I'm trying to find.
VLC?
I feel like all the answers are so far beyond what I do. Basically VPN to Invidio.us, record with Audio Hijack, put on my phone, and play on VLC. Curious what all the elite privateers think?
Why record with an app? Some invidious insurances allow downloading. There's a drop-down menu on the video page.
Right, if dl'able then no need to record. I was trying to list my method in the most general sense.
Why vpn you invidio.us? Why not directly? Invidio.us acts as the middleman to yt anyway, right?
E: autocorrect correction.
@01189998819991197253 @ForestOrca the gateway to the middleman to yt
but if you don't trust the instance, then you vpn to it :undefined:
You're right. I assumed trust in the instance, but should never assume that. Of course, by using a vpn, you're assuming it is trustworthy. I guess you gotta trust someone somewhere, at least enough to hop to the next stone.
@01189998819991197253 To be online, you totally do. :undefined: Adding extra layers helps a little bit I think.. after all, the VPN can't see exactly what video you're looking at, and then the Invidious instance can't see where you're really located...
I agree 100%. The VPN, though, can see what address you're visiting, and the address is unique to the video. That's where the trust in the VPN comes into play. With the VPN, invidio.us can't see your location, and with invidio.us, YouTube doesn't know who you are. So many layers! I love it!
