What is Spotube?
Spotube is an ingenious software that provides free access to the Spotify catalog in the same way as users who pay a subscription do. That is, without listening to advertisements and with the possibility of downloading for playback without an Internet connection.
Spotube also allows you to create song playlists, display synchronized lyrics on the screen, download songs along with their lyrics, among other options.
How to access Spotify from Spotube?
A free Spotify user account is enough for Spotube to allow you unrestricted access to the music platform. In exchange, you will have to go through an unusual login procedure. This occurs because Spotube accesses Spotify through the public API that Spotify itself makes available to developers, whose user accounts are validated differently.
However, this entire procedure, which involves two alphanumeric values related to browser cookies, is described step by step in the screen that appears when trying to establish a connection with Spotify from Spotube, specifically by clicking on the Follow along the Step by Step Guide.
In this case, the main action is to log in to Spotify.com (not the web player) and press Fn + F12 in Chrome to open its developer tools menu. Then, go to Applications > Storage > Cookies, and capture the cookie values (sp_dc and sp_key) that Spotube requests.
