Wait what, how does this work? Reverse engineering? Or is it one of those things that finds the song you're playing on actual Spotify on YouTube?

[–] reclipse@lemdro.id 12 points 1 year ago

It is one of those things that finds the song you’re playing on actual Spotify on YouTube.

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 10 points 1 year ago

My understanding is that it uses the Spotify API (e.g., for track information, lyrics, playlists) but streams the actual audio from YouTube.

[–] unfunkable@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah, looks like it just finds the song on YouTube according to this

Using a Spotify account on Spotube with a Premium subscription will do nothing more than a non-Premium account, songs are streamed from YouTube.

This looks great, pity I have turned to Plexamp and can't go back to any other music player now...apart from Phonograph

Looks super fucking nice... Now if only I had a Spotify account lol.

EDIT: Same fucking problem the official app has... Can't put it into landscape mode on the now playing screen. That's how I have my phone mounted to my dash and it will only go vertical... So fucking dumb.

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 5 points 1 year ago

Interesting, you're right! You might want to post that on their GitHub issues page.

[–] Devgard@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

very cool seeing 3rd party apps for Spotify, especially OSS!

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 3 points 1 year ago

Love to see it. Starred.

[–] isdfoa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting, I had no idea 3P clients for Spotify was possible. I dig the UI. Will this still give me all my Spotify playlists (incl. Recommended ones from Spotify like daily mix etc)?

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

This basically combines Spotify playlists, lyrics, and metadata with the actual audio files from YouTube. It seems pretty clever to me. I have Spotify Premium so it isn't as relevant to me but it seems like a great alternative for folks who don't.

Weird! You might want to post that up on the GitHub issues page. Or maybe it is so advanced it knows what you really want to hear.

Oh shit, AI overlords when?!?
