Alternatives to Apple Music? (lemmy.ml)

Hi. I'm looking for a decent replacement to Apple Music. It'd be great if it had a streaming service/store that I can buy or stream music from, as well as be able to play local music on my computer. Are there any good alternatives/replacements?

For playing local files, Auxio on Android and Gapless on Linux is good, Outertune for Android lets you stream and download music from YouTube music, and Tubular for Linux, configured correctly, allows you to download music from YouTube music, provided with the link.

I think audio doesn't have backup and restore otherwise good

Backup and restore of what? Your playlists and audio files are just stored as files in the regular file system

Of playlists

Like I said, the playlists are just stored as m3u files, you can directly read them from any app
