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?

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

[–] [email protected] 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 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

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Love to see it. Starred.

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)?

[–] [email protected] 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.
