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 But then was soon out of date and couldn't find another reliable version somehow.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.

Metrolist is petty good alternative if you liked ViTune. SimpMusic and Kreate are some other ones if metrolist doesn't interest you.

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 through 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.

Ive just moved to revanced yt music. It was an annoying shift. But this is reliable. Much more reliable and consistent

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?

I didnt rely on convenient moving, built everything up again. Luckily it was quick for me.

Found no good way to shift stuff

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?

https://revanced.app/

You may use github too if you prefer.

There are thorough guides available on how to download and patch stuff

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Get the revanced manager from the website (there are many fakes I'll give you the link)

Then download an apk of the yt app, again online, then paatxh it using the revanced manager.

Only do this if you feel safe with it.

[–] salvor_hardin@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 hours ago

Ah great, much appreciated! Will check out the link you share. Cheers :)

Revanced Spotify is available

Not at this moment there isn't. The bastards keep breaking it

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I actually didnt know of revanced Spotify only yt music

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 3 points 10 hours ago

It's fairly recent

[–] salvor_hardin@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, do you have a link/guide for it?

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 3 points 10 hours ago

I've never used it, but I suspect it's the same as any other supported app.
