Search without an account #1913

Closed 12people closed 1 month ago

12people commented 2 months ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

Pain

I don't have a Spotify account and don't intend to create one.

It'd be great to be able to use search without it.

Suggested solution

I'd suggest not requiring a Spotify account to search. (Since the back-end is Youtube-based, this should be possible.)

I'd also love to see this feature implemented! Nuclear also allows searching for music and listening to songs without creating any spotify account even though it partly parses informations from it.

I second this issue, related to https://github.com/KRTirtho/spotube/issues/125

The app uses Spotify API and Spotify Account and all it's entities. YouTube api is only used for the audio source/music nothing else. It's strictly a Spotify Client "not a YouTube/YT Music client" thus we can't provide search without Authenticated user as Spotify API requires it
