Could you build this?

Partial The settings UI and audio file import are easy to vibe-code. Reliably detecting when a Spotify ad is playing and injecting replacement audio requires OS-level audio routing and fragile workarounds against a closed client.

What it would actually take: The UI, catalog, and settings can be built quickly. The hard part is detecting ad playback on the Spotify desktop client, which the public API does not expose reliably, and routing or replacing audio through a virtual audio device on each OS. That requires low-level audio and platform expertise, and the approach breaks whenever Spotify changes its client.
