Oh fuck, I'm with Deezer... are there any options left?

It's not majority owned. Also, the development team is in France. I don't think this is a problem. If you think this is a problem then you can't use any product from Europe. There is always some American who bought their stocks.

Yes, after reading carefully I came to the same conclusion... there is simply no company that is "perfect", we can only evaluate what we can and decide if the level of "dirt" is acceptable

I was going to say Bandcamp, but it was sold to Songtradr.

You can choose products developed in Europe. It doesn't matter whether some American has their money invested.

I’m about to try Quboz from another comment I read somewhere. They’re a French company.

SoundCloud has enormous variety. Are they jerks too?

Yes, I do for pretty much everything but it's a bit of a hassle for new music discovery and to play everywhere
