I recently got into the piracy community, and discovered a great open source app for Android that allows you to stream music for free from YouTube music! It’s called ViMusic and it’s one of the best free music apps imo. It has a beautiful and customizable interface and it actually has a music recommendation algorithm which is one of the main reasons people still pay for music subscriptions like Apple Music instead of pirating. This app has been really helpful to me and I hope that it can be to you too :)
ViMusic is incredible. I’d drop Spotify premium in a heart beat if the rest of my family weren’t on the same plan. Would be nice to save $15/mo
I love ViMusic, it’s helped me find a lot of music over thr time I’ve used it. Its reccomendations are quite good, and I can just donate to the artist if I like the music instead of trusting my streaming service to underpay them.
Yeah I’ve also found some really great songs through ViMusic
There’s also innertune (yt music, like vimusic) and xmanager (Spotify)
Just be aware that while xmanager itself is open source, the patched spotify apks it downloads and installs can be filled with obfuscated malware and you have no way of knowing.
The patches aren’t open source.
There is also revanced YouTube Music
So, to use this, I download F-droid to my Android device and then download Vimusic?
That works. F-Droid is an alternative to the Play store. You can also download the .apk directly instead if you prefer. Just scroll down to the versions and find the most recent.
You don’t need to download F-droid, you can just scroll down to the downloads section on that page. Also you can just find the ViMusic GitHub repo and download it from the releases there.
Do you need any help with fdroid ? did you do it ?
