Open source Spotify client that doesn’t require Premium nor uses Electron! Available for both desktop & mobile!

I was interested how it was getting access to Spotify music library and suggestion algorithms but turns out it just isn’t. Wonder why is trying to pretend to be Spotify when it could just market itself as a YouTube music interface.
minus-squaresanpo@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoI 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.
