## What it is
Spotube is an open-source, cross-platform music streaming app built with Flutter that plays music via community plugins for various metadata and audio sources. It offers local playback control, time-synced lyrics, downloadable tracks, and no telemetry, on Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux.

## Use cases
- stream music without a premium subscription
- play youtube music playlists without ads
- download songs with metadata tags
- show time-synced lyrics while listening
- use a lightweight native music player instead of electron
- sync playlists from spotify to another audio source
- listen to music privately with no telemetry

## When to choose
- you want a native, lightweight cross-platform music player on desktop and mobile
- you want to bring your own music source or metadata service via plugins
- you care about privacy, no telemetry, and local playback control
- you want free track downloads with tagged metadata and synced lyrics

## When to avoid
- you need official licensed streaming from a specific provider with full catalog guarantees
- you rely on server-side features like collaborative queues or cloud library sync
- you need an iOS app or web player
- you require a fully legal, rights-cleared music service
