I have tried

  • RiMusic
  • ViMusic
  • InnerTune
  • SpMp
  • ViTune
  • Gyawun
  • SimpMusic

And in the end I settled on RiMusic which I’m really tired of, so frustrating when an app keep crashing out of nowhere.

Have you tried any FOSS YTM app that you can say with confident that it is stable and it just works?

Why not just use the official YTM app you may ask? Well so I can easily save and transfer my music listening data

update

I gave spotube a try and well I was disappointed then I finally gave spotify a shot and it looks promising

    I thought Blackhole was okay altho I do notice a little lag in loading. It sources the audio from saavn, ytm and og youtube.

    Also I know you asked for a foss app but I’ve always loved ymusic.

    Are you using YouTube music purely for new suggestions?

    If not, and you have your own curated playlists, you could consider NewPipe (or the fork called Tubular) as it allows you to play these in the background, and even add songs from SoundCloud and Bandcamp into the same playlist.

    What device do you have? These apps could just be crashing because YouTube detected it temporarily blocked access; happens all the time with yt-dlp, Piped, and NewPipe
