Paprika, an app I’ve used for (I think) over 20 years has gone freemium nagwear. There is no way to get older versions (because he only distributes via the Apple app store now).
The only export options are HTML. The developer is a coward.
Anyway, I’m looking for a replacement. Something with a web interface so I can see it on an iPad would be helpful.
Okay, so again… Host it yourself.
To export your existing library, just export to html then convert to markdown (or even directly into mealie), it’s incredibly easy.
All of your iTunes music should have been immediately downloaded to open tunes and then saved elsewhere. That $25/year is not paying for your music, it’s paying for the convenience of cloud access because 99% percent of people would rather do that than self-host.
Both of these things only require a small amount of work. The fact that you haven’t done it for iTunes over all these years, but are now complaining about paprika tells me that you are fine with supporting Apple but hate it when it goes to support small independent devs.
