Spotify Music

Spotify can be free. Don’t cancel the premium if you ever buy it, run Spotify in a browser while running an ad blocker.

I feel like the music industry is pushing you into sticking to a team like Apple Music or Spotify, Soundcloud Go. This “hack” to get free Spotify isn’t useful if you’re at a gym. Lets investigate a way of getting free music if you really are struggling. Here are some options I found exploring the web.

Spicytify: Command-line tool to customize the official Spotify client. Supports Windows, MacOS and Linux.

Psst: A fast Spotify client with a native GUI written in Rust, without Electron. Psst is still very early in development, lacking in features, stability, and general user experience. It’s fully cross-platform, supporting Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Spotube: A cross-platform extensible open-source music streaming platform.

These are all open-source options.

After some more digging I found the piracy mega thread on Reddit. This has a bunch of great URLs if you’re looking for some free music that you don’t want to pay for. I found Lucida on there.

yt-dlp is another great project that allows you to rip music from YouTube, just read the documentation beforehand.

There is way more on that Piracy reddit which has third party resources you can use for free entertainment.
