> Psst: Fast Spotify client with native GUI, without Electron, built in Rust
I wonder what's faster: The new GUI, linked user accounts getting suspended or the project getting legal issues with the result of being taken down.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No, seriously. I support projects like this. But they pretty much always end the same. It's always sad to see so much effort go into waste. I get the motivation but I think there are a lot of other things to spend this kind of work on other than somethings that breaks a service's TOS from just reading the title.
This uses the same API as libspotify, a library for accessing Spotify for playback that Spotify released themselves. It’s not been supported for a while so future support for this API is unclear, but it’s not clearly going to be shut down like you suggest.
Apple Music also has an official and maintained API for building third party clients.
But you are not decrypting the DRM. The software you are using is decrypting the audio stream in real time in a way that works similar to the official client. The logged in user is not breaking the TOS.
