I am a Spotify paid user (I paid with my gf the duo tier or whatever is called, she has an iOS device so she kinda needs it, I could live without it I guess), would I benefit from Spotify Revanced or xManager clients?

Something like having neat features with Smart Tube or YT Revanced with a YT premium subscription?

Nope. Both the xManager client and the current ReVanced patches focus on unlocking premium and nothing else, no extra features.
I think xManager had extra themes? But I dunno if they're working on the current version.
This might change in the future as people tinker with the ReVanced patches and the Spotify codebase though.

I've never understood the need for ReVanced because every single application it supports is a horrible pile of trash I'd never install in the first place. So many good alternatives and people would rather patch garbage like Spotify? Why?

What do you use for music then?

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Local storage

My actual music. What a concept.

Because people are used to it, and also because it features one of the largest music collections you can find. Same for other things it supports.

you don't use youtube?

[–] TheChickenOfDoom@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Only via third party apps to search and mostly watch by mpv / yt-dlp

What’s even the point of pirating Spotify anyways? All the features are ass and the quality sucks, why?
