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

pipepipe and rimusic is what i use. youtube in the browser is fine too, if you disable that "open in the youtube app" popup (firefox for android with ublock origin addon is what i use, although i have experienced some regressions with the ad-blocker not working after youtube updates something, but ublock is usually on top of it and fixes stuff quickly).

also, the sponsorblock addon works on mobile and there is an addon that allows videos to play in the background if you need that. i haven't tested this with youtube music in the browser but i wouldn't be surprised if it also worked.
