Your creativity is evident in this app and your reflections on music availability match those of others of your generation. Specifically, turning to YouTube for music. It is free, highly available and people are making great playlists.
It is curious that YouTube may have better and broader licenses from the various copyright holders, SoundExchange, SOCAN, etc... that Spotify, Pandora, et al. Somehow I doubt it.
There is a stackoverflow discussion worth a read on the use of the YouTube API for music playback.
I wish you success and I like the app. The powers that be probably will not agree with its function and lack of appropriate streaming licensing, but that is a conversation to have over a medicinal beer or scotch.
