First xmanager went away and I was devastated
Now revanced Spotify doesn’t seem to work and I feel defeated.
I feel the cat and mouse game with spotify has caught up and I should just ditch Spotify altogether. Do you guys have any solutions?

Have you patched the latest version? Mine stopped working within the last week. Just downloaded the new version and patched it. Has been working fine since.
To download spitify, zotify maybe work.
I used a program called spotdl to download all the music in my playlists and then ditched the whole thing.
Using lidarr with the arr-extended scripts, soularr and slskd is the way. Add the music to your jellyfin server, stream with symfonium.
Muffon is a bit jank but works quite well. It takes from quite a few sources and has the ability to reccomend
I just ditched spotify completely in favour of a jellyfin private server that works like spotify for me. If I want to get recommendations, listenbrainz gives me a weekly list based on what i listen.
Even spotube stopped working since the dev received a cease and desist, you have to go back to the old hacked app.
It’s never been so easy to download music. Soulseek, yt-dlp, torrents for older stuff, spotify downloader websites etc. I still have spotify but I started growing my local music collection a few years ago. Considering canceling my spotify subscription.
Soulseek will IP block you for leeching, always keep it on
Is there any guide on how Soulseek works? I don’t really understand how to use it and how it works
Can yt-dlp download lossless formats or is it just mp3?
It’s more like the old school file sharing networks of like napster and emule. You give it a directory to share and it makes files in those directories available to download on the network and you can download what other people are sharing.
I was using xmanager for a long time, then I moved on from Spotify altogether. I think it depends on how you use Spotify. I was really trying to hold onto streaming music because I didn’t want to loose my playlists, but when I looked at my Wrapped every year, I was listening to the same artists and songs alot of the time.
For me it made more sense to buy the music I loved, rather than pay a monthly fee to listen to the same tracks. Now I have a great currated music collection on my phone that I control. If you decide to buy music, 7digital and Bandcamp are great.
For the revanced, I just keep going through the steps each time it doesn’t work. Uninstall revanced app, download main app, split into apk, re-patch, reinstall. I’ve had to do it about 3 times in the past month, but it always gets it back running again.
For desktop I’ve been getting playlists I like from the web Spotify UI, then using spotdl to download them.
On mobile I’ve been trying out Kreate (YouTube Music frontend) and so far it’s not bad. It doesn’t have a real algorithm but I tend to browse by genre until I land on a playlist, or go to a song I feel like and hit Song Radio. UI is still a bit clunky in my opinion but it has worked so far for me otherwise.
Didn’t spotdl cease to work a long time ago? Maybe I’m confusing it, I used to use some AUR package which I thought was called that, then the API thing happened and it ceased to function so I gave up on it.
I use arch BTW.
spotx still works fine, if you want to use that in migration
Have you tried Spotube?
Not sure what Revanced changes/add/subtracts, but Spotify is basically Spotify without ads and you can pick different sources (ex. YouTube) for the music.
Spotube is also complying with a cease and desist from Spotify and can no longer access the Spotify API or anything related with the service.
I hope spotdl still lives on, I’ll probably start downloading before it’s all gone
That’s unfortunate.
Do you know when that is supposed to happen (currently works for me)?
They have already stopped development and removed all versions with Spotify implementation.
