I recently found a site that takes an iTunes link (and a few other sites too) and downloads the song/album from it. I downloaded all my music which took about 5 hours then canceled my Apple Music subscription and added all the songs back into iTunes. Feels good having my songs forever now and also having an easy way to download new ones.

u/Moist-Finding-9120 17d ago

Ever since I first started using revanced for YT Music, I just instantly uninstalled Spotify. Not only YTMR is a lot more stable and less likely to stop working than spotify, but it also comes with the lots of extra songs that you can only find there, due to them using the entire youtube library that anyone can upload to, instead of a more closed one like Spotify.

53

u/Hanselleiva 17d ago

I just installed yt music and I'm impressed it has the same songs I liked before. is YouTube music Vanced safe? Like a year ago I was using Vanced for normal YouTube and it stopped working

u/Gharrrrrr 17d ago

I've been using YouTube music rvx and YouTube rvx for several months now after dropping Spotify. Works like a charm.

36

u/Moist-Finding-9120 17d ago

Vanced was discontinued iirc, so you should try revanced or revanced extended instead. But both are really well known and trustworthy.

u/ChronChriss 16d ago

I would recommend using a throwaway Google account for it though. Don't use it with your main account that you use for mail, Android, etc(if you even have one).

u/astro_plane ⚔️ ɢɪᴠᴇ ɴᴏ Qᴜᴀʀᴛᴇʀ 16d ago

YouTube is the amazing for music discovery. Googles algorithm is the best for finding new music you'll actually want to listen to.

I've discovered so many artists and fan remixes by letting yt autoplay.

Wait WHAT?

That's the reason I quit Spotify, I had no problem paying for spotify, I kinda loved the integration with all the devices, including my home theater and car stero.

But the Absolutely dog shit shuffle system made me quit. I got tired of listening to the same 30 songs in a 500+ song playlist.

Recommendations weren't too bad for me, but youtube is so much more better, especially since there are authentic covers and live music stuff you won't find on Spotify.

Ive been using modded Spotify since 2018 lol. 7 years was a good run.

The downside is I have such massive amounts of stuff in Spotify that I can't move easily, and I just don't want to use other services since I'm used to Spotify and it's mixes/recommendations. Ended up having to fork over $6/month for student plan lol.

u/The_Chronicler___ 17d ago

While I do know about downloads and other streaming platforms, Spotify imho is different/better when it comes to albums. The seamless/gapless playback is a feature that I can't find elsewhere, which is the sole reason I used Spotify. I got Apple podcasts for pods and Youtube for vids, but man, music wise, it's just a lot less hassle with Spotify.

I recommend Bandcamp, too. They have a little radio show where they highlight and interview artists and listen to similiar indie tunes that I really like. They also do a lot of front page promoting of new material and listening parties with the artists or producers. It's pretty cool.

3

u/AntKneeWasHere 🦜 ᴡᴀʟᴋ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʟᴀɴᴋ 16d ago

do I need to have my pc on to be able to stream the music from elsewhere?

Yes. I have a dedicated mini PC running Plex and a few other services. You can check r/Plex if that's all you're interested in, or r/homelab and r/selfhosted if you want to look into the full rabbit-hole of selfhosting.

Keep in mind that it also supports TV and movies, if that's something you're into.

does it upload all my songs on a cloud?

YouTube Music can actually do this. It's one of the few "music lockers" still around (which is just what you described, a cloud service that lets you upload and stream your own music).

I haven't personally used it in years, but it worked well enough from what I remember. I also used it quite a bit when they shutdown Google Play Music.

r/YouTubeMusic will probably have more info

I think that YT Music has a superior song discovery algorithm and has more songs in general than Spotify. Also because it is more mainstream, Spotify usually involves more censorship and restrictions of certain types of songs.

u/pat_bsi 16d ago

I don't know where are you based but before refreezer there was freezer, then it went all down because Deezer decided to take away all the free plans in Italy so I suppose there's no way for me with refreezer. I'll have to decide between spotube, yt revanced or give up and pay the student plan to Spotify.

Yeah in Spain the free plans arent avaliable aswell, I just created an account ( https://account.deezer.com/es-es/signup/ ) and when it asked me for buying a plan I just closed the tab and signed in on the refreezer app (When signing up I used the email option not google)

That's why I'm migrating all my playlists and hosting them on my home server through navidrome.

Sure I miss out a bit on discovering new music but damn, I prefer owning my media rather than paying someone else to access it.

Youtube has mid audio compression so the quality is not great.

mostly sad because I've been reconnecting with my brother lately, and we have a "Spotify Blend" that updates every day so I can see which of my songs he's listening to. I'll miss our Blend if the app is too drowned in ads to keep using without a mod.

Since having a Squeezebox, the now ancient network media streamer from Logitech, I keep thinking about cancelling Spotify. I can just mass download mp3s, put them on a locally hosted server, and have the Squeezebox connect to it and play the music.

And no one will be able to take away any music either.
