Meld (Spotify – YouTube Music client) v0.6.71 build 16
Requirements: 8.0+
Overview: A music client that fuses Spotify and YouTube Music into one seamless experience.
What is Meld?
Meld is an Android music client that brings together the best of Spotify and YouTube Music. It uses your Spotify account to power personalized recommendations, search, and home content — while streaming audio through YouTube Music.
The name “Meld” reflects the core idea: melding two music platforms into a single, unified listening experience.
Why Meld?
● Spotify’s personalization — Your top tracks, favorite artists, and curated playlists from Spotify drive the recommendations
● YouTube Music’s catalog — Access YouTube Music’s vast library for streaming, including rare tracks, live performances, and remixes
● No setup required — Just log in with your Spotify account directly in the app. No developer dashboard, no Client ID, no extra steps
● No Spotify Premium required — Meld uses Spotify’s data APIs (not streaming), so a free Spotify account is all you need
● Built-in recommendation engine — A custom algorithm builds personalized queues using your Spotify listening history, without relying on deprecated API endpoints
✨Features
Spotify Integration
● Spotify as search source — Search results powered by Spotify, with automatic YouTube Music matching for playback
● Spotify as home source — Home screen populated with your Spotify top tracks, top artists, playlists, and new releases
● Spotify-only mode — Option to hide all YouTube-based content and show exclusively Spotify-powered sections on the home screen
● Smart queue generation — Custom recommendation engine that builds radio-like queues from your Spotify taste profile (top tracks/artists across 3 time ranges, genre similarity, popularity matching)
● Spotify library sync — Access your Spotify playlists and liked songs directly in the app
● Spotify-to-YouTube matching — Fuzzy matching algorithm with local caching for fast, accurate track resolution
● Manual match override — If a Spotify track is matched to the wrong YouTube video, you can manually fix it by pasting the correct YouTube link. The override is saved permanently and takes priority over automatic matching
● Spotify album browsing — Dedicated album screen for Spotify albums with full tracklist, metadata, and one-tap playback
● Hybrid profile cache — 3-tier data strategy (GraphQL → REST API → local DB) with persistent caching for instant home screen loading on app restart, automatic rate-limit handling, and parallel artist image enrichment
● Artist navigation — Tap any Spotify artist on the home screen to navigate directly to their YouTube Music artist page

Spotify Integration
● In Meld, go to Settings → Integrations → Spotify
● Tap Login — a Spotify login page will open directly inside the app
● Sign in with your Spotify account (email/password, Google, Facebook, or Apple)
● Once logged in, enable “Use Spotify for Search” and/or “Use Spotify for Home” — these are off by default
● Optionally enable “Spotify only” to hide all YouTube-based content from the home screen
● Go back to the home screen and pull down to refresh. Your Spotify playlists, top tracks, and recommendations should appear within a few seconds.
● Note: No developer account, Client ID, or any external setup is required. Just log in with your regular Spotify account — free or Premium.
● Important: For reliable playback, disable battery optimization for Meld in your phone settings (Settings → Apps → Meld → Battery → Unrestricted). Without this, Android may throttle the app and cause long delays before songs start playing.

What’s New:
A big jump from 0.6.7: a much deeper Spotify integration, new SponsorBlock feature, more reliable lyrics and fewer crashes.
Highlights
SponsorBlock (opt-in)
Automatically skip non-music segments (intros, outros, sponsor reads, talking sections) using the SponsorBlock community database. Fully optional and disabled by default — find it under Settings → Player → SponsorBlock.
Pick which categories to skip (default: only “non-music section”)
Silent skipping, or enable a toast when something is skipped
Works with the screen locked and when seeking back into a segment
Privacy-friendly: the video ID is never sent in plaintext to the server
Spotify-powered home
The Home tab is now populated directly with your Spotify recommendations (your mixes, recent plays, recommended albums and playlists), so the first thing you see when opening Meld actually reflects your Spotify world.
Deeper Spotify integration
Play Spotify albums directly (previously limited)
Spotify library folders are now visible and browsable
All your Spotify playlists are loaded (some used to go missing)
Liked Songs sync from Spotify
Liked songs and Spotify playlists are also available on Android Auto
Faster loading: optimized parallel Spotify→YouTube matching with an in-memory cache
Smoother lyrics
When you scroll lyrics manually, auto-scroll resumes after a moment and re-aligns with the song (issue #80)
If lyrics load late, they now correctly sync to the current playback position instead of starting from line one (issue #79, #90)
Tapping a line jumps the song to that point and auto-scroll resumes immediately
Reliability
New crash reporting flow via GitHub Issues, making it easier to report problems
No more spurious crash reports for transient YouTube errors (expired URLs, “missing stream expire time”, brief audio-decoder hiccups): they’re now recovered silently
More resilient image loading — a network error on a thumbnail no longer breaks the library screen
Wider unit-test coverage in CI
Under the hood
Auto-updating Spotify GraphQL hashes
Performance: in-memory LRU cache for Spotify matching, in-memory DataStore snapshot
StrictMode enabled in debug builds to catch main-thread I/O early
This app has no advertisements
