Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming services in the world, but it can be even better with some free third-party apps that enhance your listening experience. Whether you want to discover new music, see your listening stats, or listen to songs from the past, there are apps for that. Here are some of the best Spotify free apps you can try.
Echoes: This app lets you see your Spotify stats and listening habits in a simple dashboard. You can see your top artists, tracks, and recently played songs, as well as get music recommendations based on your taste. You can also listen to songs within the app and create playlists to add to your Spotify account.
Wayback.FM: This app lets you travel back in time and listen to songs that were hits in a previous year. You can choose any year from 1959 to 2020 and start a radio station based on the release date of the songs. It’s a great way to relive the past or discover music from different eras.
Timelineify: This app lets you make a chronological playlist of an artist’s discography. You can see how their music evolved over time and listen to their songs in the order they were released. You can also filter by albums, singles, or features, and export the playlist to Spotify.
xManager: This app is a Spotify patcher that lets you enjoy premium features for free. You can download songs, skip ads, play any track, and use unlimited skips without paying anything. You just need to install the app and log in with your Spotify account.
These are some of the best Spotify free apps you can use to improve your music listening experience. They are all easy to use and compatible with most devices. Try them out and see which ones you like best.
youtube music shilling incoming, ignore if dont care :p
awesome if you’re a spotify user, but to anyone on the fence, youtube music is just so much comfier. and if you’re a privacy advocate or anything adjacent, i’m sure you’re still using youtube in some way anyway so you may as well cut out spotify, another exploitative company, and just leave yourself with youtube.
there are plenty of free services that let you convert spotify playlists into youtube music ones, and you can listen to them using mobile frontends like InnerTune or web frontends like HyperPipe. free offline listening, no ads, good frontends, it’s just comfy and you can cut out a dependency on spotify. besides, if you do end up ever trying to export anything from your spotify (playlists, downloading songs, etc), chances are it’ll use the youtube api anyway.
Not sure if they’re different now. I tried YouTube Music one year ago and it’s very hard to find new music. On Spotify, I can navigate from one song to a related song and another and so on. On YouTube Music, it keeps taking me back to artists and songs that I have liked before, making it very hard to find new music.
I’ve never used youtube music, how are the suggestions? I use spotify at work for background music. I want to be able to give it an artist or genre and get 3-4 hours of music I know and some I may not have heard of. But it needs to match my tastes close enough that I don’t have to keep stopping what I’m doing, walk over and hit skip when it plays something horrible. Spotifys daily mixes do this pretty well. Does youtube have something similar?
Stats.FM is another good one. It shows you all sorts of statistics on what you listen to, which you can filter by time period and use to find new music.
Setting up accounts on last.fm and/or listenbrainz is a must for those who want to track listening habits, make charts etc. See https://feddit.de/c/scrobble if you want help setting it up.

I had to ditch youtube for music when it kept forcing a censored version of a song even when I was clicking the one with the [E]xplicit.
