Honestly have no experience here, but is this at all worth a look if you aren’t paying for YT? I’ve considered reshuffling/reducing the subscriptions I have and Spotify is probably the one I’m most attached to.
It also the only FOSS YT-based music player that actually support ruby text lyrics for Japanese.
This is kinda bad. The UI is inconsistent, laggy and overall ugly.
I very much prefer Innertune as it has consistency and works much better than this. Loading takes a ton of time for whatever reason.
Yeah, not sure why OP is so damn condescending here. I just tried this app today because Innertune is currently having issues playing songs and this one works.
The interface is super confusing, tapping some buttons changes other buttons next to them without any apparent reason. No explanations what symbols mean. It took me a while to find where the “liked” songs end up. Then I later tried to find it again and just couldn’t find it anymore.

Thanks sweetie 🥰
i’m criticizing, that’s all
Since its using YT Music in the background, its not 100% reliable. Youtube changes small stuff on their site and API from time to time which breaks these Apps. Happens once every couple of weeks. Just be aware of that!
Yes it is true
Looks nice but UI performance is pretty bad, framerate drops all the time whereas the YT Music app works pretty much flawlessly.
I’m personally not a fan of its design but yea everyone likes their own thing.
Innertune is pretty good aswell
Innertune stopped working for me a few days ago. I know they are working on a bugfix but so far alternatives like the fork of it from a user called Mal…something did not work for me either.
Yeah, I already can’t decide between keeping Innertune or RiMusic (needs some tweaks but after you customize it is great)
InnerTune mentioned.
If only it didn’t use YTM as a backend. Youtube Music has the absolute worst recommendations I have ever used. It will literally play a song from an artist I never heard before in a genre I don’t listen to. It’s completely random. I wish OGG players were more popular.
I don’t have a problem with it playing a song way out of nowhere, but what if does do is play the same like 20 songs over and over and over when I let it try to recommend things. Like the songs it picks are decent recommendations but damn could I have something different?
And while we’re venting, its recommended album feed for me is surprisingly good, except that half the things it recommends are singles releases. I don’t want to see those please let me just se albums…
At least they fixed the bug where “repeat album” would constantly turn itself on.
What does a file format have to do with music streaming apps?
I say ogg instead of mp3, because I prefer it over mp3. OGG was always open but mp3 was formerly patented.
But we’re talking about streaming here, not local playback.
That’s exact opposite of my experience with it.
I really like the interface of Namida for local play https://github.com/namidaco/namida
