And to top it off, YT Music stopped working for me, and has done the same for many others on some accounts (the revanced team thinks it’s a/b testing from google).
I guess it’s time to update my local music collection.
Seeking out legal advice in just one day is quite… minimal.
Yeah; that’s not much time, and I’m not a lawyer, but this seems a complicated legal question. I just assumed any tool that circumvents any sort of digital lock would be hosting in countries that DGAF about US laws. Even better if they have a .onion address to avoid any network blocking attempts, like z-library.
Try OuterTune. It’s great even though it is a YT Music client.
Wow thanks, I was looking exactly for that ! I have youtube music subscription actually but I just don’t want any of google’s shit on my phone
Ri music
F U C K
I don’t know about everyone else, but patched Spotify stopped working months ago for me so this isn’t a loss for me personally, but still, fuck Spotify
This is bad because they will probably stop YouTube or give google more gusto to go after them too
Such apps should be made by anonymous accounts. Good luck sending a DMCA to them
yup not staying unreachable is literally the reason old vanced got taken down.
I wouldn’t expect Spotify to just let people use premium services for free. Fuck Spotify, right there with y’all on that, but this isn’t egregious or unethical behavior for them.
Use Spotify since it has a free tier, for music discovery if you like, but get FLACs and self host. I like Plex for that and it works with what I use.
Music is actually one thing I will always pay for. I use Apple Music because they pay artists more and they offer better quality. And they don’t care, if you’re on a family plan, if not all your family lives with you. I also self host because backups are nice and I can’t access Apple Music at work. I can, however, access Plex. (It’s not that Apple is blocked. It’s that Apple requires 2FA and I can’t bring my iPhone into work.) But, point is either way, self host and stream everywhere. Sucks that Plex went up; I got Lifetime for $80 years ago. (Now it’s $250.)
