Anyone been using Metrolist for YouTube music stuff? Their permissions look pretty heavy and it's not on regular f droid. Only Izzy on droid.

I had it on my device for a while, I didn't notice anything bad.

But I didn't like it, there were a few bugs. Not worth it imo.

Did you find a better alternative?

[–] LightYagami@lemmus.org 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

VIVI is the best out there currently

Well now I have outer tune and vivi. If one stops working, hopefully the other will stay kicking. Lol

I download what I like with NewPipe and play locally. I don't listen to music that much.

I've been using OuterTune for a couple of months, feels like it's the current best of the ones still being updated!

I'll give it a go. Thanks.
