I wanted to share this open-source alternative to Spotify/YouTube Music for Android that I found. It’s ad-free and VERY CUSTOMIZABLE. This definitely deserves so much MORE recognition. https://github.com/koiverse/ArchiveTune

    Am I right that it is not for Spotify despite what it says in OP? Git page refers to YT music only?

      Some people are ok with that. Privacy is not an all or nothing ideal, it’s a spectrum. Some people want privacy in some areas but are ok with none in others.

          The login is a great Option for people like me who have a youtube account, in my case with premium even, but prefere the features and design of this app over the official one.

          In this case privacy, in regards of my music taste and hearing patterns, is something I don’t care about much.

    appears to be similar to innertune / metrolist. I use the latter and adore it.

      In the README under Acknowledgements, they credit Metrolist for base framework.

      In other news, I’m satisfied with metrolist so I don’t see a need to switch, has been a much better experience than spotube even before their refactor cuz of Spotify lawyers.

    There are a couple of good ones that does the same. Either fetching from YouTube or Savnn. I use OuterTune.

      Scroll all the way down. If the developer has published/released apk, you’ll see a Releases secrion at the bottom.

      Click on Releases to view all versions that have been released. The highlighted green one is the latest official apk.

      If you have Obtainium, just add the URL into it, and it’ll auto find releases and updates.
