Have you tried setting vimusic up using Waydroid?

Moosync is great, it supports youtube music (which can be proxied through invidious/piped if you enable the setting), soundcloud, tidal, spotify and a bunch of music sources in one app.

Just downloaded moosync, loving it so far but there's is only one issue with it whenever i search for my playlist it's showing me that there are no songs in it but the arts works are visible and it is public bc i have added the same playlist in vimusic. And i have also tried adding other playlist which are not mine and still it's showing zero songs.

If you are on windows, Windows Subsystem for Android works great, I downloaded the APK file and it works, can import/export my playlists with my android ViMusic as a sort of sync between the two

Personally I consider the best alternative is Spotify, and I know, it's a telemetry and tracker nightmare but you don't necessarily need to create an account using your main email, you can use a temporary email exclusively for your spotify account.

Personally, I used ViMusic and Moosync for a long time but then I really considered that at the end of the day I'm depending on Google and I'm giving my information to Google even though I'm using a front-end, which is not even a proxy, it's Google.

In this case I consider that fragmentation is better, Spotify can't recognize me from other services and I give less information to Google.

I have tried spotify but i just think youtube music is better bc sometimes there are versions of songs which are available in video only and you can listen to those songs in yt music.
