Ah yes that sounds like an incredibly safe idea.

Out of curiosity, why not go for something that supports Linux out of the box? Why stock to mainstream?
Flatpaks are a lot easier than appimages though I still default to my distros native packages if available.
PopOS and Manjaro are two I never liked.
Just another one of YouTube Music’s many features that doesn’t actually work.
So as people have suggested already there’s deemix if you’re happy to pay for a Premium subscription. If you want something somewhat more automated there are scripts that can be used with Lidarr to automatically download new releases from deemix.
Of course there’s also yt-dl to download from YouTube but the sound quality won’t match that of Deezer.
For Android there are apps such as Innertune, SimpMusic or ViMusic which let you stream and download from YouTube Music. There’s also Spotiflyer which I believe downloads tracks from YouTube again but links with a Spotify account for playlists etc.
For both Desktop and Android there’s also SpotTube which uses a Spotfy library and streams from YouTube Music.
For me it just never shows the correct play time so podcasts will get to the end in app but still have like 10 minutes left to play. Also it has a habit of randomly skipping back 10 seconds every now and then.
I use AntennaPod as it’s the best Foss option but it’s very buggy.
No I mean what OS? Are you wanting for desktop of mobile?
What platform are you using?
OpenSUSE TW for me. Used to be Arch but it’s just too much faff for me.
How do you manage to confuse there and their this much?
Innertune is the best at the moment if you ask me but there’s also Simp Music. ViMusic has ceased development but is the same idea just with a different style UI.
SpotTube let’s you login with your Spotify account so you have access to your library and playlists but I find the app to be buggy and just generally ugly.
People bragging about modded Spotify always confuse me when there are plenty of better open source options utilising YouTube Music.
I gave up with pipewire and just switched to pulseaudio. All issues gone.
£5.99 refund. Quite clearly not in the US.
Oh Tidal definitely tried to push me towards podcasts during my free trial.
Yet another music app ruined by forced podcasts. Only Qobuz and Apple Music left I guess.
Podcasts in a music streaming app is a sure fire way to make me cancel my subscription.
Finally a Deck rival I might actually be interested in.
