I am trying to move away from spotify but am really stuck. Ytm has opensource mobile apps that can directly use ytm and its recommendations but spotify doesn’t have any decent option, but i like the recommendations more in spotify.

Ytm is very much connected to youtube it has videos and audio mixed up, its so bad. Also it needs to enable youtube history in order to save history of songs. I only consider it bcz of mobile apps solutions.

Spotify is what i really want to use but it doesn’t have foss app. But atleast it just records music and not get connected everywhere. Only downside is that i would be using propriety app which may have more trackers.

It comes does to which one to trust spotify or Google

What do you say?

      There is Spotube on F-droid. There’s also Musify that doesn’t use Spotify so doesn’t need the Spotify account.

      Also see Spotiflyer.

      Each of these is a bit different so check them out and see which most suits your needs.

        Spotiflyer downloads from youtube, not directly from spotify. You can use zotify in termux to downlad directly from Spotify. Especially if you have premium spotify account, you can download all your favorite albums and playlists in premium quality.
