A really good alternative to Youtube Music with caching feature that automatically downloads music you listen and makes it available for listening offline. Fast and convenient.

After discontinuing paying for YouTube Premium/YouTube Music for a few years, I forgot that the music would stop playing if lock my phone/shut the screen off. As long as you have no other demands other than simply have an ad-free, background playing YouTube music version, you will be happy.

Please note that it hasn't been updated since November 2022, but heck, it still works in late July 2024.

As far as I know, there is a fork of ViMusic named RiMusic, and it's still in active development as of me writing this comment.

This is an amazing app with an awesomely simple interface to listen to YouTube Music. You can select favourite artists, albums, tracks, and all the usual stuff.

Just be aware that it's not dedicated to download music (like NewPipe), but it gets buffered for offline listening.

Its an amazing app that can replace youtube music and spotify with privacy in mind, although, its more of an alternative to youtube music but at times, it does feel like an alternative to spotify. Its also has cons like no download for example, but mainly, its one app I would and have recommended to many because its really good and recommend you guys who haven't used it at all as well.

Pros : ✅ FOSS and private ✅ No account required ✅ Free YouTube Music version : ad-free, background playing. Also supports ad-free MP3 versions of YouTube content. ✅ Lyrics available for many songs, sometimes synchronized ✅ Playlists creation ✅ Numerous functions available: "favorites" tab, start radio, sleep timer, equalizer, link sharing... ✅ It's possible to import and export the database ✅ A beautiful and customizable interface ✅ Great possibilities with settings

Meh : ✅❌ No recommendation algorithm ✅❌ No cross-platform synchronization, since no account is created

Cons: ❌ No update since November 2022 ❌ Songs cannot be downloaded, and only the most recently played tracks are available for offline listening. (I personally have around 200 tracks available offline). ❌ Available only on Android

🙏 Thanks to the developers and the open-source and libre community.
