Spotify has always been, along with Apple Music, one of the streaming apps that I used the most to listen to songs from my favorite artists and groups. Now, a new option has arrived on the market that allows us to have the best of each, but completely free of charge. We tell you.
During the last years, the number of applications that allow us to enjoy our favorite content over the Internet has not stopped growing. Within the music scene, apps like Spotify, YouTube Music or Apple Music They are some of the best known, concentrating a large number of users. In all of them we find the same common denominator: the need to pay a subscription to be free from advertising. The arrival to the Spotube market, to which we can access from this linkinvites us to evaluate one more option.
Ad-free and cross-platform
Spotube is an application that uses the Spotify and YouTube Music API to be able to offer us all the content with which we interact in our daily lives. In fact, once we download it, one of the first steps we must take is to use our Spotify credentials to be able to synchronize our profile with Spotube.
Once we download it and add our profile, we will be able to access all our songs and playlists that we have been saving over the last few years. In addition, the changes we make to them will also be recorded in our Spotify profile if we use this application again. So the synchronization borders on perfection.
By using the Spotify API, the application can access all data related to our account. However, the songs are not used from this platform, but from YouTube. But, in this case, previously eliminate all advertising so that playback is uninterrupted. And all this without having to subscribe to any payment plan. Currently, the application can be downloaded from its website for all platforms: MacOS, Windows, Android and Linux. In addition, it also has a mobile version, but in this case only for Android users.
Maximum privacy
As we can see on its website, Spotube is a open source application which bases its operation on respect for privacy. Its operating model is supported by the contributions of its community and the people who help develop new functionalities and continue with the project.
The main limitation that we can find with respect to Spotify is that we cannot access the exclusive content of this app, since it is not published on YouTube. In addition, the sound quality will depend on YouTube, so it is possible that we will encounter some songs in which we will notice a decrease in sound compared to what we were used to on Spotify,
Finally, it is worth knowing that downloading songs from the application is allowed to be able to enjoy them when we do not have a connection, but when doing so the app warns us that it is possible that our IP is blocked on the part of YouTube considering that we are pirating music. Therefore, it is recommended that we avoid this action except for very specific moments.
