Regarding the API, Spotify does allow free access, but some content and features are restricted to the official apps. For example, personalized playlists such as Weekly Discovery, release radar, daily mixes and the like are not available and return an error. Rate limiting is ok for a personal use case with a custom api key, and maybe some small apps can stay under the limit; developer agreement is also quite restrictive, so they have a bunch of reasons to block you.

Source: I’ve used the API before and built a small tool to help me export my top listened songs and some recommendations to a list, nothing heavy but still made sure to read the docs needed just in case. Still managed to hit the rate limit with a few tens of requests in a minute, though the way they do limiting is weird and difficult to account for.

Or simply a newer kernel version could do the trick

Traslated titles are trash, at least for Spanish. Those are usually confusing due to the wrong translation of technical terms or even common words/slang. They can’t be bothered to give you anything better than shit-tier google translated text.

Dearrow has an option to disable them and it’s an absolute godsend; though I’m not using it now for performance issues.
