People bragging about modded Spotify always confuse me when there are plenty of better open source options utilising YouTube Music.
The biggest reason for me not switching at this point is, I'm already in the Spotify ecology. I have my playlists, I have my liked artists and songs. Sure, all of that CAN be converted, but not conveniently.
When I started using Spotify it was almost certainly the best option for music streaming. They progressively turn more hostile towards their users, as is inevitable, and so now I use a crack.
Okay I'm interested, care to list a few projects with looking into?
Personally, I use Spotube (GitHub) for my phone. They have a desktop version as well but I haven't tried it yet.
It's decent and works as intended, but can mess up some songs sometimes (I'm assuming they are just doing a YouTube search with the artist and song names).
Innertune is the best at the moment if you ask me but there's also Simp Music. ViMusic has ceased development but is the same idea just with a different style UI.
SpotTube let's you login with your Spotify account so you have access to your library and playlists but I find the app to be buggy and just generally ugly.
