Hello all,

I have recently moved to pixel/graphene, and am looking to dump spotify.

On desktop I use Freetube and Nuclear which I really like, but I haven't found a good way to sync with mobile.

On the android side I have newpipe, pipepipe, libretube, RiMusic, SpMp, SimpmMusic, InnertTune, ViMusic.....

I'm a bit overwhelmed with options.

I've heard of cracked spotify apks but I'm not sure what the deal is with those

With that in mind please give recommendations or explain your solution. KDE connect integration is a nice plus some of these apps have but I'd be ok with using a standalone application as long as I can somehow control the music on either device.

I plan to start maintaining my library locally but I still need some kind of streaming solution.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

    Ok thanks for putting me on game. I made a throwaway and it's working great

    Are there other similar projects or forks with different features? for example it would be cool if I could take out the ads and bloat in the UI

    If not I might try my hand at learning

      I don't know any other for Spotify.

      For YouTube, I have used Revanced. There are alot of fake website for this, so I posted the GitHub page. Since we are talking about music, I believe it also works for YouTube Music.

      I stopped using it because I started using other programs. Also, Google is becomes increasingly finicky. I should get away from Google but I still use their services. I don't want my IP or account to get banned.

      For YouTube, I am currently using FreeTube on desktop, and LibreTube on Android. For FreeTube I set it to always use an Invidious instance. Note, instances go down, and slow down all the time. YouTube changes their APIs and the app or the instance breaks. There are a lot of factors that can go wrong. It's not for the easily annoyed.
