Just wondering, other than the obvious free tier audio quality (high is server side) what is the general consensus on using a modded client for premium features? I just don't have the option of network related stuff like torrenting or direct download + self hosting, as in my current situation I'm not my own admin. It's worked pretty well in my experience though I plan on subscribing to tidal soon for higher audio quality. Modded clients also seem more ethical to me as usage still count towards an artist's stream count (and thus paycheck, popularity, etc). It feels good as I ended up being a top listener for a newer artist I like as she was coming to popularity, and my streams + sharing spotify links to friends contributed a lot to their growth.
I get it, I take partial credit for the Bourne Ultimatum winning a best editing Oscar due to my emailing the agents of academy members letting them know it was solely the work of editing that kept audiences from puking in the theaters.
I personally use xManager because I don't download every single piece of music I listen to (no matter how hard I try) so I would recommend it, but I would regularly backup likes / playlists because of the risk of a ban
