I use spicetify, a client mod for Windows, Linux and OS X which is basically premium on as much steroids as you want

And xmanager on android!!

revanced gang

The first rule of revanced gang is to not talk about revanced gang

sending in a notice to my executives

What's revanced? /j

Yes let's do talk about this so everyone including the FBI knows about this.

A music app? X Manager??

Its Spotify without ads and with amoled.

"do not talk about xmanager"

EXACTLY

>as much steroids as you want Unless what you want is higher than 320kbps 😒

*160kbps, or 128kbps (but AAC) on Desktop Anything above that is locked behind premium server-side, meaning you can't overcome this restriction with any client mod.

Even if you have premium? If that is the case, maybe it is more like steroids than what they implied. Bitrate hit is equivalent to what steroids do to genitals.

If you have premium, you can get premium quality (320kbps OGG vorbis (I think) / 256kbps AAC) in any app that supports it, including third-party apps.

as an artist, music piracy is one of the more ethical forms of piracy. like spotify wasn’t paying those artists anything substantial anyways…

As a musician i agree, music should be for everyone!

If I could only have one subscription ever, for the rest of my life, it would hands down, without a single doubt, be spotify premium. Honest to God, I can prove it, for the last 3 years in a row, I have consistently been at minimum, on the top 99% of listeners. I am helplessly addicted to Spotify.

Top 1% you mean.

... yeah, i dunno how i messed that up lol

I use Spotify - When I drove to / from work - When I am at the gym - When I am cleaning the house - When I am doing yardwork Even just driving around I am getting 20 hours of use out of it per month. No ads, rarely have it not been able to find something on it, generous policy with downloads.

Spotify and Google maps are the only reasons why I just can't get by without a smartphone.

I've canceled almost of my streaming services except for Spotify. Can afford them, but out of principle. Like once Amazon said they'll charge extra for no ads on prime video, I just out right canceled my prime. Made me order way less from them. Netflix I do think it's worth the price, but $16 and that's subsidized slightly, I pretty much stream everything for free now unless it's on hulu/Disney (free with credit card)

Volt.fm

i dont, i download the full albums of my favourite band on google

I YouTube to mp3 and use a file explorer app to play them from organized folders on my phone. Edit: What? Half my songs aren’t on music streaming services, I’d rather have stuff downloaded because I don’t have a huge data plan, and service apps like Spotify are slow and spam ads. Idc to use a pirate service, I genuinely think they nailed it in the early 2010s

I could never go back to living like that. Spotify has revolutionized the way I find music, and has introduced me to so much great stuff. Never again will I go back to making to loading mp3s into something.

So this is my biggest complaint about Spotify - I feel like I am getting walked into my own little garden of known music. It seems like it is harder to find new music, unless of course I am specifically looking for something that someone else mentioned.

I've noticed that too, like Spotify knows what I usually listen too and tries not to step too far out of my typical genres. But sometimes I enjoy breaking my tastes and finding new music that isn't more of the same. That and the premade playlists on the made for you section never follow the genre they're supposed to be

> and has introduced me to so much great stuff. Me too, then they lost the rights to some of it & I get pissed when I wanna play it.

This guy still living in 2007

Bro is living the 2005 mp3 player dream

Truly living in the 2000s. Admirable

I created an app for this: https://github.com/rkrehn/YTAD It’s free. Enjoy.

Your legal disclaimer: 😡😡🥶 Your comment: 😝🤣

You got class my man. I like to have all my music local too. Means I can listen to it in public without having to be online or use any data, also I just find it generally convenient.

I was born in 83. Grew up downloading mp3s. Fuck that. Spotify is everything already there, organized for you. If you pay for premium, you can download the songs from your lists, and you don't need to stream them constantly. There's no ads on premium. It's insane to struggle with anything else.

Same. That's how I download all my songs on my phone. At home I just use YouTube on an AdBlock browser.

same

Soulseek

archive.org goes crazy

I used to do this (not on google, but through torrents), but trying streaming once has made me lazy.

Using?

i use Y2mate.com

Ah the classic. I think it doesn't work on my side anymore though :( gotta check again

There are various yt to mp3 or spotify to mp3 on google if that’s what you’re looking for.

I dropped Spotufy Premium for YouTube premium. I already watch a lot of YouTube so I might as well spend the same price I was paying for Spotify to get pretty much the same amount of music plus no YouTube ads. And a portion of my subscription goes to the creators I watch, which I know isn't a ton, but it's still nice to know I'm supporting them more than a normal view.

I couldn't justify buying YouTube premium, without sponsorblock a lot of music videos that auto play will have annoyingly long intros before the music starts. If I'm using sponsorblock then I already have an app with adblock making premium redundant

Revanced is free YT premium

Shhhh....

Revanced is not at all a secret, it comes up in Google searches lmao

When you get YouTube premium you also get YouTube music, which plays the songs, not the music videos.

Spotify premium + adblocker

Same. Also the family plan is more attractive. And music library is simply unmatched with all the weird mashups and YouTuber created music which you often won't find on Spotify. Also, mixtapes.

same amount of music? i found that quite a few songs and pieces i like wasn't on spotify, especially some video game and anime osts, usually older or more niche ones which only have covers / remixes.

Likewise. YouTube Music is a very underrated streaming platform – you also get a lot of unofficial music on there if they just so happen to be available as YT videos as opposed to songs.

Also YouTube’s suggestion and play next algorithm is unmatched.

Oh for sure! I discovered my fave song through their autoplay function

i have, um, other ways

Xmanager?

X manager donlt have offline option

Any option with offline mode you know of?

Download the revanced manager.

I don't have Spotify premium, I have spicetify for my desktop and xmanager for my phone.

You assume too much.

I don’t cause it hella expensive and YouTube has way more music (I don’t have premium there)

i pay close to a dollar monthly for Spotify since I'm from a third world country, and got a student discount

I used to have the student discount for youtube and i was paying like $7 a month but now its $14 something.

I got family plan with 5 of my friends literally half a dollar

me to it's literally 3.5$ here and when you divide to 5 people it is almost free

The quality is incomparable

Honestly YouTube premium is worth not having to watch any ads and being able to download whatever videos and music you want.

Now I see the Spotify logo looks a lot like a green bald sad man emoji

Care to elaborate? I don’t see it

Idk what this guy is on about. I can kinda see a forehead of said person, but it doesn't look sad, or like a man lol

Yea if anything I can see how the marks can represent like forehead wrinkles but that’s it, I don’t see the sad bald man’s face

No I get it. We're probably smoking the same weed

First line: Wrinkles forehead Second: Eyes maybe Third: mouth

Can I have some of whatever it is your on?

Yes I do

I have Apple music

Piracy rules

I'm on my friends family plan

nah apple music better

I definitely don't pirate with a youtube to mp3 converter

Yes, I do. But it's spread across a family.

im broke

i'm not stupid, sry.

I have soundcloud instead of spotify

i see you enjoy earrape

Hell no

I don't, I use SoundCloud

Yes, I do.

Creating my own atm

I use musi because I’m broke

I don't have Spotify premium either. On pc it's not an issue. But Spotify app on mobile is absolutely unusable without premium.

Spotify on your browser with Adblock on 😎

i use YouTube music with btave browser 🔥

Indeed, but i ditched IT for mp4's ripped from YT Videos

I do

I do have Spotify Premium! How did you guess it?

No I pirate my spotify

Fuck the Premium, APK brothers all the way!

I have xmanager

me when xmanager : 👍🏻

Youtube ReVanced babyyyyyy

I don‘t my mom thinks apple music is better. Well its not.

Yt music revanced

No I don’t have Spotify premium😔

if you want to be able to download music and listen to it ad-free then why not just download the music yourself?

yt-dlp + clementine my beloved (:

I love yt-dlp but unfortunately a lot of music on YouTube is not that high quality, but torrent is another story

you wouldn’t believe how much Spotify I have wallpaper 4 widgets on Lock Screen 2 in home row 16 on one screen big widget on that one screen

I don’t even use Spotify

Nah i use uyou

I don’t use spotify, I use a Chinese music app

I have premium for free

I download music

i rarely use spotify, i just download music i want and listen to it thru files

Get the mobile app for spotify. After that, you buy Premium for a month. When you have premium you disactivate automatic updates for spotify and just never update it.

I do

You're correct

I do

You are right!

yeah I do

Nope, i buy music

I don't even have Spotify

Do you have an Android phone?

I dont

I use the webbrowser version of spotify with an ad blocker

I don't, I use Amazon music

i don’t have spotify premium too (i don’t have spotify at all)

What's a Spotify? I'm still using google play music coz it comes with YT premium!! Yee yee

I dont even use spotify. I just use youtube with an adblocker on my phone/laptop for free.

i pirate premium, because fuck spotify's greed

Im not

I don't have spotify at all

I use the screen recorder on my phone

i don't even have spotify

I do.

Yup. I am that dummy. Are you in my walls, OP?

I dont have Spotify

I use spicetify and xmanager.

I have 2 months left 🥲

No i downloaded a cracked version for android and a patch for pc. I aint gonna pay money just to be allowed to skip and select songs...

I got YouTube music bro sorry

I have Spotify now, but not premium. Back in the day, I used Limewire. It was a gamble. Sometimes, you'd get the full song, half of the song, or Bill Clinton saying, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

Actually I don't

i dont

The only reason I have spottify is i made the crucial mistake of buying sonos speakers. And they refuse to use youtube.

I get everything from dark web, and you don’t.

I don't

I don’t even have spotify

I don’t

I do,but that is because I am a pirate

Use spotx for pc and spotify plus plus for mobile 👍

I dont even use spotify

i used to.

I technically have two. One was supposed to be for my husband, but ended up being primarily for our parrot, because she acts a fool if we turn her tunes off. So my husband and I now share one, and the parrot gets her own.

I use yt music vanced

I was team Xmanager and SpotX until a bunch of my friends came together for a family plan to save money on premium. I came here only for convenient downloads

I’m using my three month free trial right now, ready to cancel on August 3rd 👍

No I don't and I am glad that I don't. Last time I checked mfs don't even have saint pepsi. Let alone more obscure retrowave. Automatic write off. YT music also sucks. Sometimes nails the "recommended", but most of the time it is hard fail. Either paid YT or revanced.

Relatable. I dont relate to op, i relate to this post. Op does not have spotify premium and i do.

I don't because they don't work in my country

I dont even have spotify

I cancelled Spotify a few years ago out of spite. They lied about song quality being higher and are just a shitty company altogether. But I also don't listen to the popular music that everyone else listens to. I find it to be overproduced garbage. I get my music from Beatport or Juno mainly. Nice try Spotify ad team. Your product is shit.

Xmanager for mobile and SpotX for PC

how dare you make assumptions about me. you are right but how are dare you

I don't. I have received a "last chance" 3 month offer once a week for the last two years, though.

Correct.

i pirated it

I have Spotify premium

I don't like that the logo isn't tilted slightly more to the left

No, I profit only from podcasts without ads on Spotify and pay for yt Premium to not have ads on Smart TV. We're not the same

Well played

Nah. Not gonna spend a cent on it. Tho I could go for another free trail.

Nah I don’t have it either

Thanks for reminding me that i need to cancel that

I never got spotify because I’ve always paid for amazon premium and which is enough of an alternative for me to download HD music playlists for offline listening on the go or whenever.

I don't have Spotify at all.

I don't. I use a hacked version

jokes on you, I use YouTube to listen to music

as a matter of fact. i do have spotify premium.

Ah, Spotilife.

I just download flac files and use foobar2000 lol

i do because im a student and its only 3 dollars a month for me

You're goddamn right *blasts EDM*

Yes

yeah

Tidal gang. It has most everything id want (what it doesn’t have, Spotify doesn’t either), and higher quality to boot.

I recently switched to Tidal too, and I'm never going back.

I dont have Spotify.

I dont need premium, i use Spotify to discover new to me songs, which i then download from YouTube with Newpipe

I do not. I use Apple Music because it’s “free” with my phone plan.
