How much crap can we pack into one app?

I've shared it here, but I am currently looking for an alternative to Spotify. Too much AI slop in my playlists, too many features I don't need in my music app, and here is Spotify adding one more thing that I don't want.

Whether you’re sharing a new audiobook with a friend for book club, bonding over your new favorite song, or swapping history podcasts with Dad, the right recommendation can spark a great conversation with those closest to you. Messages are a fast and convenient way to share and chat about what you’re listening to with the people you care about.

I'm currently testing Apple Music, and so far it seems the better alternative. Tidal and Qobuz are also on my list, but I fear Tidal might not survive much longer and Qobuz seems to be lacking some artists.
