Integration of `Youtube Music` and `Spotify` in Nora

Open vippium opened this issue 10 months ago • 10 comments

It'll be nice if you integrate YouTube Music and Spotify in Nora while having Last.FM. As many of the users don't use last.fm on their android device. Having the integration of them will allow users to sync their playlist across devices.

Are you suggesting an integration of YouTube Music and Spotify into Nora so it can play songs from those services?

If so, currently I have no plans to make Nora an online audio player.

He probably is. And I would say that I would also like this feature. The design of Nora is very cool and it'd be nice if we could listen to existing music without having to manually download mp3 files for each and every song. A way to be able to listen to songs through Nora "online" would be awesome!

Please put this into consideration. Thanks!

I'm assuming you deleted your message as you've realized what you're saying.

  1. Spotify has a BUNCH of ads, and spams you telling you to get premium.
  2. Nora has a much better UI, and if it did support directly playing music online, who wouldn't use Nora? Spotify has a LOT of flaws, and sometimes very confusing to navigate or to do some action.
  3. I can't even use Spotify because no matter where and how I try to sign in, for some reason Spotify keeps saying an error occurred, while this doesn't happen with anything else! I contacted support, yet nothing!

Yes, I also like spotify intergration feature because

  1. More features like personalized recommendations
  2. No need to storage songs locally

but the main disadvantage is

  • because of the electron, nora already consumes high ram If Nora adds online features, it might consume even more RAM, making it worse for low-performance PCs.

If you prefer and want to keep the legacy of Nora, you can just introduce new program named Nora Onlineor something other which you'ld like.

It'll keep the Nora's legacy with offline music lovers and Nora Online for online music lovers.

Or perhaps there could be an option in-app to turn on or off the online feature, so people who don't want it or think it consumes too much RAM can turn off the feature, while others who still want it can still keep it on so no-one will be unhappy! And I believe the developer is probably thinking of ways to make the app more efficient and decrease RAM usage so I'm not sure if we really need to worry about that.

And YouTube music integration may also work. Maybe the app can make it so if you login with Spotify or YouTube Music, it can get songs from that music platform online directly, without you needing to download them manually. And it could also update and/or sync with your YT Music or Spotify history, libraries, etc.!

This would sadly be a huge "update" (if we can even call it an update) and looking at how busy the main dev is, I highly doubt he would take that much time adding these integration that are definitely not easy to implement.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
