I download the music from YouTube (through front-end services like Piped) and play it locally through a music player.
I don't know how it works on iPhone (I have an Android phone), but I can use NewPipe and LibreTube and Seal to download the music. If I'm on the go that is. Otherwise I download the music through ytdlp and transfer the files to my smartphone.
Apple really restrict their users to their own ecosystem.
Yt-dlp is great for getting music from YouTube music.
You even get fairly good quality if you have premium (I do through Argentina, so it costs me cents per month)
Woot? yt-dlp premium? Never heard of it. yt-dlp have always been and will always be free (donations aside) since it's open sourced. Sounds like you pay to a scammer. Or do you mean YouTube Premium? :)
