I wanted to share this open-source alternative to Spotify/YouTube Music for Android that I found. It's ad-free and VERY CUSTOMIZABLE. This definitely deserves so much MORE recognition. https://github.com/koiverse/ArchiveTune

appears to be similar to innertune / metrolist. I use the latter and adore it.

[-] Delascas@feddit.uk 6 points 2 months ago

Another big upvote for Metrolist. IMO its the best of them.

[-] brokenwing@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 months ago

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

[-] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

This is a very polished product. Surprisingly so

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

Even github is very respectable.

[-] Alvaro 7 points 2 months ago

It is using youtube music as the source, FYI

[-] blinfabian@feddit.nl 6 points 2 months ago

when you login with google, doesnt that ruin the "privacy" part? pls fill me in

[-] rafssunny@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

you don't need to log in to use the app.

[-] blinfabian@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago

no i know, but because its an option thats just something i was wondering

[-] DarkMetatron@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] ThisIsABlandUsername@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] bright@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

It says it draws from YouTube Music. Do you have to be a subscriber?

[-] rafssunny@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 months ago

no, and you don't even need to log in to use it.

[-] PMmeTrebuchets@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

Ohhhh I'm so downloading this. Ty!

[-] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

So, like spotube? Does it also use the same download mechanisms in the background?

[-] roserose56@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Bro I have spotube, but after some time it got unusable. Loved it tho.

[-] qualia@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Noob here. I can never find the apks on github. Anyone able to teach me to fish? 😟

Edit: Another step further from noobliness. Thx community, very friendly & helpful. ☺️

[-] PandaInSpace@kbin.earth 14 points 2 months ago

Scroll all the way down. If the developer has published/released apk, you'll see a Releases secrion at the bottom.

Click on Releases to view all versions that have been released. The highlighted green one is the latest official apk.

If you have Obtainium, just add the URL into it, and it'll auto find releases and updates.

[-] TheMissingNumber@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

I had the same problem and are using Obtainium for most of my apps as of now.

[-] rafssunny@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] culpable@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I try last week, work perfectly on Android but not on Android Auto.

[-] blinfabian@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago

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?

[-] tehsYs@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

Wow, looks amazing, going to try instead of revanced.

[-] roserose56@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Cool thanks!!!!

[-] ropatrick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] poop@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Man this is incredible. Much better then YT music morphe. Does it support music videos or just audio?

[-] rafssunny@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

I think just audio unfortunately, but I'm not sure

[-] timhayes1991@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] dihutenosa@piefed.social 6 points 2 months ago

How exactly are you getting rid of Google with this? The music is still loaded from Google servers, thus subject to blocking or disappearing.

[-] timhayes1991@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

I suppose, but I don't need a Google account for it!

[-] idefix@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Is it a RiMusic child such as Kreate?

[-] pineapple@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

I just want to take a moment to reflect on how nice the material you UI looks.
