free-mp3-download.net (but don't forget to backup your music collection)
Edit: Unlike what the website name suggests, it allows you to download FLACs, and not just MP3s. These come from Deezer HiFi.

Let's see how long until Spotify kills it.
As much as I am a fam of alternative Software and such, what are actual advantages of using spotube over Spotify premium? Disregarding the membership fee.
The fact you're using a libre client that doesn't do extra data collection.
Anything you do in the UI has some associated backend request (everything relevant at least). Search queries, loading albums, skipping, changing settings, anything is just a Web requ on their backend server which could still be collected. The custom ui does not save you from relevant data collection. Only thing potentially not getting tracked is empty navigation between tabs, but there is not a lot of info in tab switching
That's what I meant by "extra data collection," it just gets data that has to do with what you do on the server, which is significant, but you're still protected from kinds of local collection (e.g.: device model, IMEI if possible, screen resolution, networks you connect to, etc.) other than not having analytics trackers and ads. It may sound a bit crazy, but it is possible to collect this kind of stuff to fingerprint you, just like browser fingerprinting.
This is true for the desktop/mobile app application I aggree with you there since its a CEF native on desktop and mobile apps have these kinds of APIs. I very much disagree with the Web client (which admittedly my original comment didn't mention at all, personally I mainly use the Web player)
Since on Web it's just a Website, all previously mentioned serve side tracking applies; but getting any hardware information through the sandboxing would break the browser security model and is not possible since there is no such web API. Web fingerprinting is one of the reasons apple (at least they keep bringing it up as a concern) is not keen on implementing the Web API for the luminance sensor on safari. Interestingly webkit (chromium core) does have the functionality which is why it's behind a dev flag atm (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AmbientLightSensor)
Identifying hardware should not be possible according to the browsers security model.
I should've phrased my question as 'what advantage does spotube provide over Spotify premium in the browser', after downloading it and trying it out I am guessing the biggest advantage is the download button and stuff like that? Though... I personally have no use for offline Musik nowadays.
Edit: Sidenote: the Mozilla docs frequently mention that the user agent may be used to infer hardware/browser information, and therefore developers are encouraged so spoof it (and in general not to trust the information given)

Spotube is too laggy for my liking. Innertune is my preferred streaming app that isn't self hosted.
TIL that there are open source clients for spotify. time to go down another rabbit hole, thanks linux.
Youtube music too, YT Music Revanced for modded app.
Innertune, Vi Music if you prefer FOSS clients
Ah yes Spotube, for when I want to hear a song 2 minutes from now after it finally buffers.
I just keep downloading albums of MP3s like I have since the late 90s. It used to take hours and half the songs were mislabeled and real sketchy quality. Now, it takes seconds to download an entire album, and they're almost always correctly labeled and high quality. I tried Spotify for a while, but it really seemed like it was for attention span deprived people who want something different every song. Gimme full albums any day.

I use YT Music with UBlock Origin, NoScript, Cookie manager and Dark Reader. Works like a charm, no advertisements
You might like ViMusic. It is a 3rd party client for YT music. I started using it recently and really liked the UI.
I just tried InnerTune, seems neat, but how do you add an artist to your library?
You can press the favorite icon on the top right (heart symbol)
thanks for the meme, now i know spotify has open-source client
Also see comments and their suggestions
I just download the songs and play them off of Musicolet.
Musicolet is nice, I've started syncing lyrics to my downloaded songs, it's a nice activity to kill time.
I always found spotube to be so slow.
InnerTune way better
Who needs spotify when we have vi music.
I remember when I heard the free software song first played on vi music!
Does anyone know of a Spotify client that works on ARM? I put an Orange Pi 5 as a smart TV box but Spotify doesn't work in the browser because no Widevine on aarch64 Firefox.
The poor Orange Pi can also barely play video without dropping frames, the GPU drivers are awful. I might try to uninstall them and just do software-rendering everything.
Buffering takes an eternity.
Tidal HiFi + tidal-tdl is the best combo
Yes I have to pay $20, but I basically get like hundreds of dollars of music downloaded at their highest possible fidelity for free. Slap that shit on my DAP.
Literally better than soulseek because you can get obscure music in 48khz/24 bit that doesn't even exist as an mp3 on that platform.
I have to pay $20
for free
So which is it, is it free, or is it $20?
Fair point
spotube works good on my mobile network, automatic win
Spotube was good but often slow and didn't even work sometimes so I just switched back to the pirated and cracked version of Spotify premium
Spotube is currently very buggy. After one song it often stops the playback instead of continuing for example. But if this is fixed, it's a very decent Spotify alternative.
