Muffon has many great features and is pretty intuitive to use and install... also has an active developer and is customizable.

It is like Nuclear, but it actually works! The interface could be a little better and allow us to search straight for songs and skip the artist altogether.
What do you mean?

Nuclear has a similar concept, but it does not work very well. Muffon's sidebar is kinda of annoying, I wish I could fix it open, instead of hovering it all the time to open. As for the search thing, I managed to fix in the search's scope settings.

Got it. I can add sidebar option to settings.

Muffon consistently pulls much better audio quality than other Spotify alternatives, namely Nuclear.
Thanks to VK and Odnoklassniki sources. They provide audio with quality of up to 320 kbps.
