Pandora is unavailable in Europe, does anyone knows solid alternatives ?

The Pirate Bay is my favorite alternative. You should try it out. The library is enormous, and the monthly subscription charge is negligible. It even works on all major platforms!

I know it's unpopular, but I have YT premium and use YT music since it's included. It's expensive for a streaming service, but it's also the only streaming subscription I have.

I won't get yt premium out of sheet principle but with the whole side loading crap going with android I might have to.

VPN for streaming on the go ? Too much hassle 😓

Really? You just turn it in and let it run... It'll drain your battery a bit faster but theres almost no effort on your part.
