That's a bummer because the Play Store is no longer a one-stop solution for all of your media needs, and there aren't a whole lot of full-fledged alternatives. But if you're looking to decouple parts of your digital life from Google, there are a few things you can do. Amazon is pretty much the only place to go if you want a full replacement for what the Play Store offers if you're an Android user.
You can get apps, rent and buy movies and TV shows, purchase music files, get books and audiobooks, and also obtain physical goods, of course — there's the Amazon app store, Prime Video, Amazon Music, Kindle, Audible, and the Amazon Shopping app. If you're looking to decouple parts of your digital life from Google, you need to decide for yourself if trusting another big company is the way to go, though.
Apple Music, one of the few Apple apps available on Android. Apple's digital stores are only a viable solution if you're invested in Apple's ecosystem or ready to switch from Android. Otherwise, you won't be able to access a lot of your purchases while you're out and about, not to mention the lack of Chromecast support for most media types.
You can still purchase music from iTunes, download it, and export it to your own digital locker, so if you're just looking for a replacement for music, you might find it to be a workable solution. Apple Music is also available on Android, but if you want to access music in your iTunes library on Android, you need to be a paying Music subscriber. Bandcamp is a platform that focuses on giving musicians and labels as much control over their music as they could get.
They can upload their music to the platform, set the prices themselves, and fans have the option to spend more on an album from a band they really love. Artists can also offer physical goods like CDs, vinyls, and merch in addition to digital purchases. It sells "over 40 million high quality tracks," offering both MP3 files in kbps and kbps and 16 or 24bit FLACs at a premium.
The Android app supports Chromecast and Android Auto and lets you download and stream your purchased music. As the name implies, HDTracks focuses on offering high-quality, high-fidelity digital music. The catalogue mainly consists of jazz, classical music, soft rock, and historic recordings. There's no Android app, so you need to download music on your desktop or phone and use your pre-installed music player or something like Phonograph.
If you use a digital locker instead, make sure it supports high-fidelity music. In addition to being a digital music store, Qobuz is also a streaming platform that tries to rival Tidal with a similar focus on high-fidelity music.
Qobuz has an Android app that allows you to stream the music you've purchased through the service. Microsoft used to have a full-fledged store for all things media, but a few years ago, it removed the book and music sections, leaving only its movie and TV show offers in place next to apps and games.
