Could you build this?

Partial The Android player UI, local files, and YouTube Music support are vibe-codeable. The Spotify playback path depends on reverse-engineered private protocols and an audio engine, which is a hard, legally fragile piece.

What it would actually take: The app needs a standard Android player stack (Kotlin, Media3/ExoPlayer) and a YouTube Music integration. The Spotify side requires reverse engineering the private login, authentication, and streaming protocols (as libraries like librespot did), plus decryption of audio and handling of key exchange. That needs experienced reverse engineers and ongoing maintenance as Spotify changes its protocol.
