    Wait what, how does this work? Reverse engineering? Or is it one of those things that finds the song you’re playing on actual Spotify on YouTube?

      My understanding is that it uses the Spotify API (e.g., for track information, lyrics, playlists) but streams the actual audio from YouTube.

      Yeah, looks like it just finds the song on YouTube according to this

      Using a Spotify account on Spotube with a Premium subscription will do nothing more than a non-Premium account, songs are streamed from YouTube.
