I’m looking for a FOSS alternative to Spotify, preferably one that works across Android, MacOS, and Windows.
Does anything like that exist?
- On Android, I’m using ViMusic. Works great!
- On MacOS, I’ve tried nuclear and Spotube. Neither seems to work great.
- Haven’t tried anything on Windows yet.
Suggestions appreciated. Thanks lemmy!
That’s an interesting project! But it looks like it requires a Spotify Premium account. So is it just Spotify in a different skin?
Yeah Spotify exposes their API only for premium customers. Calling the project as a different skin is undermining them. The entire project was done to access Spotify without the messy bloat of electron. If you didn’t know electron, it’s just a chrome instance running in background masquerading as different app.
Alternatively if you have the music with you, you can Selfhost a music server and stream from that, making it your own personal Spotify, in a manner.
