## 🎧 Metrolist — free open-source Android app that strips every ad from YouTube Music, offline downloads built in

Tired of YouTube Music shoving ads between every third song? Metrolist is a free, open-source client that strips all that out.

Why it’s worth grabbing:

🚫 No ads, ever — clean, uninterrupted listening

📥 Play it, pocket it — download tracks for offline playback

📡 No signal, no problem — full offline mode, no connection needed

👥 Listen together — sync sessions with friends

💸 No subscriptions required — just your music, full stop

It’s a fully open-source alternative to the official app — no premium paywall, no forced subscriptions, no tracking bloat. Just YouTube Music’s catalog, minus everything that makes the official app annoying.

**Why it’s not on the Play Store:** Google doesn’t allow third-party YouTube clients there — that’s a Google policy, not a Metrolist problem. Install the APK straight from GitHub instead, same as F-Droid-style apps.

Download: [https://github.com/MetrolistGroup/Metrolist/releases](https://github.com/MetrolistGroup/Metrolist/releases)

⚠ **One honest heads-up:** the repo is currently in maintenance mode (new PRs aren’t being merged while the team preps a rewrite) — it’s not dead, just not actively growing right now. Bug-fix releases are still shipping (latest checked: v13.4.3).

Give it a spin and drop your thoughts below — curious if others have tried it against alternatives like InnerTune or ViMusic.
