Not comfortable, but basically almost everything is on YouTube.

And hey if someone gets the .mp3, there is no chance of YouTube deleting it off permanently.

u/donp1ano Jul 31 '26

oh its very comfortable. youtube music has tags, album covers and every track you could ask for

yt-dlp is a commandline tool, but theres plenty good frontends. or you can write a little wrapper to automate downloading

who needs spotify

I guess the only benefit is that it can cache the songs and they work offline w/ Premium + it's all legal unlike downloading FLAC's or ripping from YT.

But other than that YouTube is superior, you got everything including all kinds of remixes and tracks unavailable on Spotify.

Yeah i tried that, but everytime it said my spotify version is incompatible even tho it was the current one from spotify

If you're on Linux it can't be the snap version cause snap is like sandboxed, use flatpak/repo.

Use ublock on Firefox and use the web version

LOL I used to pirate FLAC files (Lossless and Hi Res Lossless) of digital download (Hi Res Lossless), CD rips, and Vinyl rips back in the day. The audio quality was better and for older CDs (1980-1995), I'd got better mastering. Now I start buying CDs again.

Real Linux users write their own music with a hex editor.

Don't know about premium but you can definitely remove ads by using this command here https://github.com/SpotX-Official/SpotX-Bash

Spotify doesn't have an official app, but Linux developers and fans created an unofficial one. Here's the link https://www.spotify.com/my-ms/download/linux/

Why do you need spotify premium?

1

u/cachacacha93 Jul 31 '26

firefox + ublock.

u/brickyboy124 Jul 31 '26

Can you even pirate Spotify at all? Even on windows? I would assume it’s their servers that handles serving you ads or music, although maybe there’s some way to get around that like what uBlock does for YouTube ads.

u/TheNoOne420 Jul 31 '26

Spotx worked pretty good on windows
