Open source Spotify client that doesn’t require Premium nor uses Electron! Available for both desktop & mobile!
Open source Spotify client that doesn’t require Premium nor uses Electron! Available for both desktop & mobile!
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.
I guess it lacks the suggestion algo but that’s the privacy compromise I guess.
No, it’s not.
It says it’s a “Spotify client”. It simply isn’t.

What are those open source alternatives you mention?
A few are mentioned here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Spotify#Third-party_clients
Are those Spotify alternative clients just for a better ux?
Yeah, but I don’t really use them, so not the best person to ask. :)
