FOSS Apple Music player Cider is EOL, what will you use?
The open source Apple Music player Cider is getting closed source and windows only.
What do you/will you use as an alternative (besides Spotify)? Is there already an active fork?

I was wondering this myself, I currently use Cider to listen to my own music while playing games on my SteamDeck. Not sure what alternative I’ll be able to go to since I’m not leaving Apple Music.
They're going closed source and windows only when there's already an official client from Apple coming to Windows? That's strange, and unfortunate.
I don’t understand what their business plan is going closed source and directly competing against Apple. It just seems incredibly short sighted to me.
I’m not sure what the point is of turning a project like this proprietary. I can’t imagine there is much scope for commercialising a 3rd party Apple Music client, sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Especially as Apple is already creating a Windows Apple Music client.
i dont see any active forks, might fork it myself if someone doesnt beat me
Is Apple Music EOL as well? Because it should
