    Would this be bypassable with Spicetify?

      It is bypassable by not using Spotify, there are better services (even for free)

          Sorry you’re right 😭

          It’s a piracy sub so I suggest

          • monochrome.tf (open source), it takes its music from legal services so whatever you’re listening on Spotify is probably on it. There are mobile apps. It’s basically a premium service for free without data stealing. You can rip songs and keep .flac files if you want. The dream, but as it’s unofficial it might be a bit less reliable.

          For more trad legal alternatives, there are :

          • Deezer ; basically french Spotify with way better sound quality, there’s also a free version which is less restrictive than Spotify’s.
          • YouTube Music ; nice but the quality is terrible.
          • Qobuz ; the best (still french) but more expensive, you can also buy drm-free music and keep .flac files.

          The others are more or less the same, still better than Spotify which is a ripoff at this point.

          You should really try Monochrome, and Qobuz if you have the budget (~15€ I think?) :)

            I wanted to like deezer but it just wasn’t my thing. I’ll have to check that out though

            Is it me or monochrome doesn’t work?

              Yeah it works most of the time, but as it’s an unofficial front-end for Amazon Music/Deezer without accounts, it’s not as reliable as legal sources or just downloading flacs and sometimes breaks.

          YouTube Music with a self-sovereign/selfhosted frontend.
