I’ve been trying to get off of Spotify for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, I don’t have the money to spend on a Deezer or Tidal subscription, which is required to listen to more than 30 seconds of a song. I also have an extremely large playlist that needs transferring, so I need an unlimited version of FreeYourMusic if it exists. Thanks! Edit: Thanks for all the replies and advice! Unfortunately, I’m too stupid for almost all of it, but I appreciate it anyways. The solution I went with is using Newpipe on Android and a Spotify adblocker called Blockify on pc. Have a good day!
My friend told me to use Newpipe to download my music onto my phone. Had to watch a 45 second tiktok ad to download one song. Does it not normally have ads?
I think you might have downloaded a fake Newpipe…
Did I download malware like a fucking toddler? God dammit.
It’s open source, so someone may have taken the code and added crap to it. Where did you get it? If it was the Play Store, then it may well be okay & someone just put ads in it to cash in on someone else’s work - happens all the time, unfortunately.
Just the playstore. I deleted it earlier. Couldn’t find it again when I looked just now.

Get Droidify, which is an alternative front end for the F-Droid & Izzy app stores for Android. You can download numerous apps that stream ad-free from YouTube (many seem to be based on the same code with minor tweaks). NewPipe proper (without ads) is there, too. However, I recommend YTDLnis instead as it does a better job with the metadata - it’s on Izzy, which you can also use the Droidify app for.
I’ve never seen any ads. I think you downloaded a scam app. Newpipe is only on fdroid, or else direct download from their website
Gotcha. Well, now I have the real one. That’s good.
