The queen of Music streaming apps, at least in the West, are Spotify. One of the rare European companies to have succeeded in positioning itself in a sector, that of streaming, clearly dominated by American applications. And Chinese, like TikTok.
This service offers free and limited access options with advertising every few songs, and other paid options, which allow you to use the service much more comfortably, without advertising and even being able to temporarily download the songs for use them offline. But having music without advertising and without paying is not possible
Many people also use YouTube to search for songs and listen to them., because although they have advertising, they do not need to download and configure another application. Well, there is an application called Spotube, which uses our Spotify profile, with the likes we have, the lists created and uses YouTube as a music source; similar to what Nonoki does.
Free and without advertising
This application, available on all major operating systems, uses the Spotify API to interface with songs, groups and lists very similar to that of the music application. But It does not use songs from this platform. This is taken from YouTubeeliminating parts that aren’t just music, like commercials.
In this way it is possible to create playlists, listen to songs, search for new ones, save them as favorites and all this without depending on a monthly payment or having to listen to advertisements every some songs. Obviously, not everything is positive.
One of the downsides of the app is that request to link the Spotify account, so if we don’t have a precedent, we need to create one. It is also possible to use Last.fm. Moreover, the Music quality depends on versions of a song found on YouTube, so it can sometimes be weak. Here, Spotify clearly wins. There is also no access to Spotify exclusive programs
On another side, It is possible to download the music to listen to it online. If you do it with one or two songs there is no problem, but if you upload multiple songs there may be a penalty from YouTube. Indeed, it is possible to detect that the IP address of the smartphone is used to pirate music. The app itself warns you before doing so so you can be careful when downloading music.
As free option without ads For times when you don’t want to pay or experience interruptions, this is good. It is an alternative to YouTube, like SmartTube, but focused on music, with a very good interface, an acceptable loading time and many configuration options.
