Most of these services have an API of some sort. I wonder if they are complete enough to build a client app good enough that people would pay for?

I subscribe to Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, Sirius, and get Amazon Music (via Prime). I think a great client could eliminate one or two of those subscriptions.

I’ve been down this path, all of the APIs specifically restrict monetization of apps that interface with their API, except under very specific circumstances.

Last I checked, I believe using the Spotify API for a player (or, explicitly called out, a music quiz app) is against their terms
