Open source Spotify client that doesn’t require Premium nor uses Electron! Available for both desktop & mobile!
But it’s not a Spotify client, is it?
IIRC it uses Spotify APIs to generate playlists, but that’s all.
Actual music gets streamed from YouTube.
Thanks. I was interested how it was getting access to Spotify music library and suggestion algorithms but turns out it just isn’t.
Wonder why is trying to pretend to be Spotify when it could just market itself as a YouTube music interface.
I don’t know why, but personally it really rubs me the wrong way.
It’s not really “false advertising”, since it’s not a paid app, but still…
Real open source alternatives exist, but they require Spotify Premium to actually stream music legally straight from Spotify.
I don’t really see any false advertising. It is explicitly described as exactly what it is.
“An open source, cross-platform Spotify client compatible across multiple platforms utilizing Spotify’s data API and YouTube, Piped.video or JioSaavn as an audio source, eliminating the need for Spotify Premium”
I guess it lacks the suggestion algo but that’s the privacy compromise I guess.
Yeah. It’s both kind of useless if you already have spotify and very misleading.
