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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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
