Am I right that it is not for Spotify despite what it says in OP? Git page refers to YT music only?

appears to be similar to innertune / metrolist. I use the latter and adore it.
Another big upvote for Metrolist. IMO its the best of them.
In the README under Acknowledgements, they credit Metrolist for base framework.
In other news, I'm satisfied with metrolist so I don't see a need to switch, has been a much better experience than spotube even before their refactor cuz of Spotify lawyers.
This is a very polished product. Surprisingly so
Oh, you weren't kidding, it really is!
Even github is very respectable.
There are a couple of good ones that does the same. Either fetching from YouTube or Savnn. I use OuterTune.
It is using youtube music as the source, FYI
when you login with google, doesnt that ruin the "privacy" part? pls fill me in
you don't need to log in to use the app.
no i know, but because its an option thats just something i was wondering
The login is a great Option for people like me who have a youtube account, in my case with premium even, but prefere the features and design of this app over the official one.
In this case privacy, in regards of my music taste and hearing patterns, is something I don't care about much.
Some people are ok with that. Privacy is not an all or nothing ideal, it's a spectrum. Some people want privacy in some areas but are ok with none in others.
Noob here. I can never find the apks on github. Anyone able to teach me to fish? 😟
Edit: Another step further from noobliness. Thx community, very friendly & helpful. ☺️
Scroll all the way down. If the developer has published/released apk, you'll see a Releases secrion at the bottom.
Click on Releases to view all versions that have been released. The highlighted green one is the latest official apk.
If you have Obtainium, just add the URL into it, and it'll auto find releases and updates.
It says it draws from YouTube Music. Do you have to be a subscriber?
no, and you don't even need to log in to use it.
Ohhhh I'm so downloading this. Ty!
So, like spotube? Does it also use the same download mechanisms in the background?
Bro I have spotube, but after some time it got unusable. Loved it tho.
looks kind of similar to Vivi, but seems even more polished.
Wow, looks amazing, going to try instead of revanced.
I try last week, work perfectly on Android but not on Android Auto.
for most songs it just says i need to log in to confirm im not a bot, so i logged in but the error persists. anyone else had this happen? if so, how to fix?
Cool thanks!!!!
Very nice, thank you for sharing! Haven't heard of this one before. Always down to get rid of a Google service. Sadly I've yet to find a YouTube solution better than Morphe.
How exactly are you getting rid of Google with this? The music is still loaded from Google servers, thus subject to blocking or disappearing.
I suppose, but I don't need a Google account for it!
I just want to take a moment to reflect on how nice the material you UI looks.
Is it a RiMusic child such as Kreate?
Thinking of ditching the iPhone for this app alone
