If you want continuous music streaming (that is, it's not on-demand, and you'll listen to whatever's playing), Stingray Music (formerly Galaxie) gets the job done.
I also use CBC Listen, primarily to stream their radio stations, but they've got loads of podcasts and music playlists as well.
Flashback Alternatives
It's like CFNY of the 80's...adult alternative, they take requests...
Also big shout-out to local community radio
Seriously, if you have a station in town, tune in. Listen, learn the hosts names, follow them on social media if you use it, subscribe to their RSS feeds, share their stuff, throw some money their way if you can. If this moment is inspiring you to break away from American media and hegemony, let it inspire you to uplift those creators around you.
Special thanks to 91.3 CJTR in Regina, I've learned about some weird cool music from y'all
Obligatory link dump. There's also https://www.campus-fm.com/ - made by an American, but he's a nice guy, and he added a lot of Canadian college stations to this frontend.

Tons of others of course, but find myself coming back to these ones the most.
I very much do! Also NTS is a great app that some fine person here on Lemmy introduced me to. Very eclectic stuff. https://www.nts.live/
I'm torn on dumping apple music for Spotify.
On the one hand, they're not US based. On the other they keep giving Joe Rogan dump trucks filled with cash.
Sailing the seas is free
It's been a long time since I've unfurled my sails. I wouldn't even know the good places to look.
In the long days ago had a bot that would crawl google for mp3 filetype files, then bulk download entire directories full of music. Then that got turned into a honey pot.
Actually I miss when the internet was ammenable to bots... used to have a bunch, but eventually things like Twitter turned off the taps and everyone removed their RSS and json APIs.
