Somewhat notable due to previous drama these two groups seem to have had previously.

The following screenshot is from a few weeks back:

Thank you for the update, thanks xManager for having kept the tunes running.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Deleted xManager today and patched Spotify with revanced. xManager has probably saved me well over £200 on a Spotify subscription over the past couple of years so I can't say anything bad about them. Respect.

(Same goes for Revanced for YouTube as well!)

XManager stills works fine for me, to be honest.

Lucky bastard. Mine stopped weeks back

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Same. Every album and playlist just went blank one day and that was it.

I am a Spotify paid user (I paid with my gf the duo tier or whatever is called, she has an iOS device so she kinda needs it, I could live without it I guess), would I benefit from Spotify Revanced or xManager clients?

Something like having neat features with Smart Tube or YT Revanced with a YT premium subscription?

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Nope. Both the xManager client and the current ReVanced patches focus on unlocking premium and nothing else, no extra features.
I think xManager had extra themes? But I dunno if they're working on the current version.
This might change in the future as people tinker with the ReVanced patches and the Spotify codebase though.

I've never understood the need for ReVanced because every single application it supports is a horrible pile of trash I'd never install in the first place. So many good alternatives and people would rather patch garbage like Spotify? Why?

[–] schubidubiduba@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

What do you use for music then?

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

Because people are used to it, and also because it features one of the largest music collections you can find. Same for other things it supports.

[–] Kena@lemm.ee -2 points 2 weeks ago

What’s even the point of pirating Spotify anyways? All the features are ass and the quality sucks, why?
