      Spotube doesn’t actually use the Spotify API. They used to use the Spotify API for their music database, but they stopped when they received a cease and desist.

        They’ve updated the app and you can again! You just need to select an external metadata provider. If you use Sonic Liberation, you can log into spotify again just like before. https://spotube.krtirtho.dev/downloads/

          Oh my, things have changed fast. I wasn’t aware there were other metadata providers. There I go spreading misinformation again.
