Spotify alternative

Looking for a way to listen to music on my android device, preferably streaming, without ads. Been using Spotify with Ublock Origin on my PC and hoping there was a way to do something similar on android.

Xmanager-v2, literally Spotify app modded for ad free listening, unlimited skips.

Also now has Wave too (modded Tidal app).

Might I ask where to download it?

https://github.com/Team-xManager/xManager/releases

Actually it's not open source, so you don't know what's surprise you can find inside...

One of the most recommended mods I've heard of, and not one complaint about any 'iffy' stuff going on.

There's iffy stuff about one of the people involved, balatan.

Sources?

Other than posting to mobilism how else is he involved as he is not listed on 'The Team'. And there's only one dev, xC3FFF0E.

?

Enlighten me. I've always sticked to Balatan releases if going the mobilism route.

XManager = free spoti Premium, no downloads

Yt revanced= free yt music premium, no downloads.

Cancel spoti sub, use the money to add GB to your internet plan

If anyone knows a thing with download please tell

You can get tidal from the same dev on their TG. Link to tg in Xmanager

Also you can try yt music with revanced

If you still wants a wider range of apps check out mobilism.

ViMusic and InnerTune are both available on F-Droid, and are both YouTube Music clients (with reccomendations!). ViMusic is more established, but InnerTune seems to be more up-to-date.

If you want, you can self host an Navidrome instance and listen to your music in your devices with Substreamer (in fact, any subsonic compatible client works with navidrome).

I'll also pitch in Jellyfin+Finamp for a self hosted option. Navidrome is also very good, but if OP is already in the Jellyfin ecosystem, it's a good choice.

+1 for navidrome. I use symfonium on android, it's not free but it's so packed full of features it's worth the one time payment.

I can recommend ViMusic. I got it from the F-Droid Store. It basically get's every song from youtube, with a very nice gui. Not a song i didn't find yet.

I'm just over here rocking out with my Zune and all the MP3s I downloaded over the years.

Speaking of which

Holy shit that's amazing. I used the Zune player exclusively for my mp3 collection on my old desktop PC before it took a shit on itself and died last year and have "temporarily" used a family members laptop since.

Still have my Zune HD and OG Brick Zune 30GB (in blue/black, not the beautiful brown unfortunately).

Zune HD is hands down the best MP3 player of all time.

Host something like Jellyfin and maintain it your own streaming service.
Expose it to the internet for on the go.

Maybe a dumb suggestion, but shouldn't spotify + ublock still work on firefox for android?

(not OP) It did until yesterday. I hope that it's just temporary.

The Spotify APK from the mobilism market is modded for no ads.

I use firefox and youtube and i see no adds. Just wished sponsor block worked

vk.com has the best music streaming library, if you need underground stuff. You'll need to register there and browser with adblock feature (i'm using Vivaldi) if you don't want to listen to audio commercials in Russian language.

Plexamp just became free. Some premium paid for features but I'm giving it a go.
