Yes, we need to keep the app updated all the time to keep with the always changing APIs. We are not looking into going to different space right now as it's never as easy as replacing some core components, but thanks for the idea :)

You can even do a Spotify "Liked Songs" to the same account of Spotify as playlist, and then you can finally share the Liked Songs as a playlist to your friends :) If this sounds interesting feel free to ping me at twitter @bartos

Hi, founder of FreeYourMusic here. It will still work, Spotify tried to block us just the same two years ago. We then switched to different method of integration to not be legally bound via SDK agreements. We are still operational and have

We had been using different providers but sticked with Paddle. It's not more expensive if you think about benefits you get. 1) We started with Braintree. We had to implement their SDK, and then we were charging PayPal and Credit Cards.

We (FreeYourMusic.com) support both Apple Music and Google Music, so you can easily migrate ;) Apple Music has official SDK for both web and mobile. (even on Android) Google Play Music is same case now as Spotify. We mimic their web API, bu

Honestly, I haven't checked. Once we would need to use GDPR law to be able to export the data, then we would rather find a hacky way and pretent do be a user browsing their webpage. Just to offer best user experience for our customers.

It's was always ok to use their SDK and make money as long as you did not make money from music listening. We make money from user playlists data (which we believe should belong to user) and I don't treat our usecase as integratin

Of course I am looking after my own interests. I am human, that's how we evolved, that's how we made it to the moon. How am I hypocritical? I am just in favour of not locking in users, and we do not lock in users. Spotify wants Ap

Funny you mention AppleScript, because before there was Apple Music API, we were using it and pure applescript was exactly how we have started. https://www.producthunt.com/posts/stamp-2 Bit of a history now, but it was

The post was originally written more like a vent/message to our users. I do not have time and resources to set up new website like Spotify did. Today when I saw Spotify asking Apple about being fair, I immediatelly though about our cas

Yes, but the GDPR doesnt say “make it easy so apps like STAMP can exist”. Spotify could create export process that takes 3 days, you get zip file of JSON with format changing every day, and it would still be GDPR compliant.

It's classic cat-and-mouse game. If they truly believe they are better than competition, then why to lock-in users?

That's exactly why I posted this with title "Developers to Spotify: Stop Locking-In Users, Time to Play Fair" first. Spotify is being hypocritical af :(. Our users experience degradated a lot and every few weeks our hacks sto

Replace Spotify with Apple Music in the article. Same case. If Spotify wants others to play fair, it should start playing fair as well.

https://freeyourmusic.com/blog/spotify-trying-to-lockin-user... Spotify is not the angel here, as it's using same tricks to block free choice and lock in users heavily.

Sexism is fine as long as it benefits women now huh? Crazy times we live in... There would be completly different response if Apple (or anyone) would open "Camp for Men only".
