nuclear VS SpotX

Win/Mac/Linux : Nuclear : https://github.com/nukeop/nuclear Radio mode automatically plays similar songs. If the connection is slow, You can change Invidious : https://docs.invidious.io/instances/

nuclear (Win/Mac/Linux) : is audio only, but plays similar songs at random. It's a radio mode. It can also change its randomness. The exact same artist is not consecutive. But it will come back to the same artist. There seems to be a few bugs in terms of usability.

Why not use nuclear

If u want free and open source alternative to spotify u can use - https://nuclear.js.org

Nuclear is a music player that will use various sources around the internet such as YouTube and Bandcamp to search for and stream music completely ad free. The client itself keeps track of your artists, playlists, and likes. It doesn't require an account or any personal information to use and at times feels too good to be true. On the downside it's sometimes slow to play music of fails to play songs on occasion. You can easily grab it from Flathub but they also have other downloads available on the website. If you use snap packages I'd advise you to download the snap from their github instead. The one on snapcraft hasn't been updated for a while.

Nuclear is an app that will stream music from multiple sources including soundcloud, bandcamp, and youtube to give you the same features as a streaming service without ads or tracking. Yes, this is also completely open-source.

I am the dev of music-kraken https://pypi.org/project/music-kraken/. Its a music downloader downloading music from various sources. It is not quite there yet but it works pretty reliably yet. Once it got so far, that I got a stable enough programming interface, I suggest a collaboration, so you can embed my downloader as the core into monoboxes backend to make something like nuclear https://nuclear.js.org/ which wouldn't be buggy as hell though. A REAL replacement for Spotify.

This ones for windows and its trivially easy to setup, it's called SpotX. Go to this Github link, click the green code button, download zip, and after extracting it open it up and run the "Install_new_theme.bat" file. After that just answer some questions and it'll set it up in like 12 seconds, all you need to do then is open spotify and log back in.

SpotX works just fine on my Windows PC

There's 2 methods to pick from. One is BlocktheSpot and there is the DLL injection method. Supposedly the DLL Injection method is better as it's supposed to be more resistant against auto updates and supposedly more stable. But I've only had experience with BlockTheSpot and I've been using it for a while with auto update disabled and I've been pleased with it. You can also use SpotX which is supposed to be based off of BlockTheSpot but has additional features such as update disabling. You can't go wrong with either just use whichever you prefer. Just follow the instructions linked below and you should be good to go.
