They do the same thing with grid storage batteries and I hate it. “Our battery lasts 20 hours!” Think it was a better unit like watts per 4 hours but media and marketing mess with it.

Thanks for testing that! I thought it might work but I was wrong. Guess people will have to do one to RiMusic first then Kreate. Hopfully that still works…

Thats what I have been using. Its based off RiMusic which was based off ViMusic.

Just adding a note. People should be able to backup your music in ViMusic or RiMusic and restore in Create. They seem to use the same database. Though I havent tried directly from ViMusic to Kreate. I went from ViMusic to RiMusic to Kreate.

You can use kodi on any old computer or a kodi device like Vero that uses OSMC. There are non official apps for most services. Some take a little time setting up, others just username and password. While kodi its self might not spy. The streaming services certainly still track what you watch.

Two issues I have with them.

First the size. Being on a poor internet connection makes downloading them painful. Some apps are 200MB for the apt or a flatpak install 1.5GB! Also doesn’t help with disk space.

Second I often have issues saving files. Some apps use non standard folder location and some still save them to the non standard location even when you select one of you own. Block bench was bad. I’m not sure what causes this, if it wasn’t for the size I would probably spend more time looking for a fix.
