I've been trying to get off of Spotify for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to spend on a Deezer or Tidal subscription, which is required to listen to more than 30 seconds of a song. I also have an extremely large playlist that needs transferring, so I need an unlimited version of FreeYourMusic if it exists. Thanks! Edit: Thanks for all the replies and advice! Unfortunately, I'm too stupid for almost all of it, but I appreciate it anyways. The solution I went with is using Newpipe on Android and a Spotify adblocker called Blockify on pc. Have a good day!

I see. Good to know. Is there a decent way to block ads on Spotify completely? Either on mobile or desktop.

[–] ericheese@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

I think revanced has patches to remove ads on a few apps

[–] Ashiette@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

xManager spotify. It that still works...

[–] verdigris@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just use the web version on Firefox with ublock origin. Been using the free version for years. You'll get a few seconds of dead air now and then as a few ads cycle through without playing, but it's far from the full length that the ad break is supposed to be.

Super easy and still works

I'm currently getting ad-free Spotify on Android using XManager

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yoo that still works? Xmanager shut down and I can't get revanced to work. I've been running spotify with spotx on desktop

[–] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Did it shut down? I'm on their Discord server and I'm not seeing any sign that's the case. Anyway it's still working for me at least

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 2 points 6 days ago

Yoooo could you maybe dm a link to that discord server pretty please

[–] Zidane@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

I haven't been able to use Spotify for a few months now :^(

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is that on a specific store? Fdroid or something?

[–] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

You have to get it from their Discord server or website

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait, by "free" are you also expecting ad-free too?

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, it'd be nice, but no.

[–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Who's going to pay for the infrastructure if it's free free? Are you going to be donating to them?

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't care if there's ads. I care if I have to pay my hard earned doubloons to some random company so they can fund a genocide.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

But… the ad money from you hearing the ads can fund genocide. What’s the difference between giving them your money or your attention? The money is all the same to them.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 2 points 6 days ago

That's why I'm trying to get off of spotify. And the difference would only be that I get to keep a large amount of money.

Mobile: Use Firefox Nightly with uBlock Origin and you must follow this https://adminswerk.de/spotify-web-on-android/

Simplest way. Spotify Duo here, not a lot of money per month, two accounts, works on my phone, computers, in my car. The car app is absolute horse shit, but I'm thinking of switching to Qobuz. Hopefully that's better.
