The concept of a skip-song button being a privilege you have to pay for is so bizarre to me. I don't understand how people put up with that shit. Arrr

Lack of replay button on mobile was the final straw for me. Limited skips and increasing ads were annoyimg but as someone who functions better when I have a soundtrack for life, not being able to loop a song when I knew I was heading into a signal deadzone and forced to embrace the silence of music-less driving, that was simply too much.

Woah-woah-woah

You can't do that on Spotify anymore? Like at all?

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Not on mobile without premium. No loops, only 6 skips in an hour, if I remember correctly and ads every... 3 songs, I think. I've now been using modded Spotify for a while so. It's hard to remember and it's probably got worse since then.

By completely skipping Spotify, and creating your own self-hosted library by buying/pirating the songs. I recommend Jellyfin and Subsonic. Koel is another good option.

That koel is really nice

Funny that from the intro it looks like we should thank apple for their ridiculous SSD pricing ($200 for 256gb is really honest) - the dev ran out of space on their MacBook and so made this webapp to free 40gb.

From my experience uBlock Origin worked well, but that was some time ago.

If you don't mind installing a client there are:

for the best desktop OS: https://github.com/SpotX-Official/SpotX-Bash
for the other desktop OS: https://github.com/SpotX-Official/SpotX and https://github.com/mrpond/BlockTheSpot
for Android: https://github.com/Team-xManager/xManager, https://github.com/Sangwan5688/BlackHole and https://github.com/KRTirtho/spotube

Does uBlock allow to skip any song or just disable ads?

And if the answer is yes, how is that even possible? Doesn't that require a membership?

That was a long time ago (beginning of lockdown) but I don't remember having issues with skipping songs. You can just download uBO and try, there's nothing to lose.

[–] ccreamsonn@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

i think uBlock Origin can do that too

Spotube
