Anybody has a recommendation for an app that might replace spotify? I have been using spotube for a while, but now it has some issues. And usually there is a issue that props up every few weeks or so.

Before this I was using a hacked version of spotify, which used to work quite well. But then was soon out of date and couldn’t find another reliable version somehow. Perhaps someone here has it?

    I actually just had this problem a couple weeks back. I was using revanced spotify but I had to keep re-patching it because it kept breaking. Eventually, I became so frustrated I said fuck spotify and found ViTune which is a fork of ViMusic (which is now defunct).

    It workes exactly how I would want a music app to work. No accounts, no algorithms, just search for the song you want. You might get a playback error if you’re using a VPN, but that’s literally the only complaint I have about it.

      Same here, ytm rvx extended. What I like so much more than back on spotify are the recommended songs in the autoplay list. Spotify’s algorithm just doesn’t click with my taste.

      Ah yea, i was using libre tube/music. Which woukd work great, but was tricky to move the playlists from Spotify and also the recommendations were not the best. How do you get around this?

          Where did you download it from? I don’t see it on f-droid or aurora. I see you can download it from their website, but is that secure?

    Xmanager on mobile and spotx on desktop

    I don’t mind the ads on desktop tooooo much but they started playing one single ad over and over and over and over again for two week. Enough is enough

      I’d throw Spicetify into the ring for desktop. The dev team is always pretty quick to fix breakages and post info on their Discord. Between themes and plugins (including adblock) I can’t recommend it enough.
