Spotifyd
Always great to see new ways to integrate with Spotify. I think that if you&#x27;re paying for a Spotify Premium subscription you should be able to stream music wherever you want!<p>However Spotify doesn&#x27;t agree. If this is based on librespot its using stuff Spotify doesn&#x27;t support and could easily shut down for unauthorized clients any time.<p>Their supported paths are iOS and Android SDKs for mobile, and the Web Playback SDK for desktop [1]. I&#x27;ve been using the web SDK in anger to build a jukebox app [2] and its only so-so.<p>First, you&#x27;re under the confines of a web browser which has some pretty big tradeoffs over the experience and system integrations you can build.<p>Next, song playback works as advertised but there are many things you can&#x27;t do like introspect the queue or prevent Spotify Radio from kicking in.<p>The latter is downright hostile to controlling exactly what songs you hear. I assume that always going into auto-recommendation mode is intentional to juice playback stats.<p>Kudos to spotifyd for offering total control over how and where you stream music you&#x27;re paying for.<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.spotify.com&#x2F;documentation&#x2F;web-playback-sdk&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.spotify.com&#x2F;documentation&#x2F;web-playback-sdk...</a><p>2. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.getjukelab.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.getjukelab.com&#x2F;</a>
