If you search 'xmanager github' you will make a Spotify shareholder cry so please please don't.
I'm not really getting what this does... Is it a patcher?
Spotify modified to not have ads
Edit: but also it's an improved app from spotify's official app. It has amoled dark theme for example. I like it more
Yeah I've gotta say they have one awful website/github page. "Lets say nothing about what we do other than magically ad free music appears and hope people want to install this on their device!"
What do you want them to do, shout it from the rooftops so Spotify catches on? Some tools are better left quiet, so only people "in the know" use them.
Because Spotify is just going to magically not notice? I'm sure they're already well aware.
probably because they don't want to draw Spotify's attention by loudly announcing "HEY GUYS WE GIVE YOU SPOTIFY PREMIUM FEATURES FOR FREE".
For iOS, there's spotc++ but you'd need to know how to sideload
