  • xManager-Spotify

    Discontinued Ad-Free, New Features & Freedom [Moved to: https://github.com/xManager-App/xManager]

  • Also, there's xManager-Spotify for... Spotify as a replacement for Vanced Music. I would advise you to not use this with a premium account though, since ad blockers are a TOS violation and can get your account suspended. That won't really matter in practice if you just use throw-away accounts though (I'm not a lawyer, so don't quote me on that) -> https://github.com/xManager-v2/xManager-Spotify/releases
