Opensource android alternative for spotify/youtube music

This is a very polished product. Surprisingly so

Oh, you weren’t kidding, it really is!

Even github is very respectable.

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.
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.

There are a couple of good ones that does the same. Either fetching from YouTube or Savnn. I use OuterTune.

Material 3 local Music Player and YouTube Music client

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!
Is it a RiMusic child such as Kreate?
Wow, looks amazing, going to try instead of revanced.
Noob here. I can never find the apks on github. Anyone able to teach me to fish? 😟
I had the same problem and are using Obtainium for most of my apps as of now.
Obtainium

Obtainium allows you to install and update apps directly from their release pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available.

if you haven’t been able to, their website has a direct link to download the apk. link

What about Github Store?
GitHub Store — The app store for GitHub releases

Discover, install, and update open-source apps directly from GitHub releases.

looks kind of similar to Vivi, but seems even more polished.
Cool thanks!!!
I try last week, work perfectly on Android but not on Android Auto.
I just want to take a moment to reflect on how nice the material you UI looks.
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.
It is using youtube music as the source, FYI
Thinking of ditching the iPhone for this app alone
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?

AI vibe coded app just to consume APIs…

You are better off pirating music and using any local music player on your phone

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