After the death of ViMusic (a very lightweight MD3 YouTube Music client) I saw RiMusic getting quite popular but now it's a very feature-rich client with its own UI design that is also very slow on older devices (based on my bare metal tests). I found this other one interesting so hopefully someone else will like it too.

I really like this app. Though it does seem to have google tracking according to duckduckgo. Maybe inevitable because it's getting the music data from YouTube? But that would mean that it wouldn't work while blocking the trackers, but it does work. I don't know, just felt it was worth pointing out.

Besides that, pretty nice app. Works well, has a nice UI.

I think this app is just a very simple frontend to the official API without much tracker blocking. It's not meant for privacy but more for simple ad-free listening.

Maybe. It's definitely good at what it does, playing music.
