Spotify moves lyrics behind a paywall
> why they gave that a green light After they came out with the Car Thing[1], I realized there may be a loose cannon over there at Spotify, and not in a fun, creative way, but in a "greenlights harebrained nonsense" way, like Netflix's "Qwikster" near-debacle. 1 https://carthing.spotify.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago
Looking for an upgrade
Spotify also has a device called a Car Thing. It's just a Spotify control panel. Source: 5 months ago

Is there a Dashboard for navidrome, which controls playback for different devices.
I fished out an old Android phone. For now it sits on my desk as a digital clock. I wonder is there a way to control playback for navidrome from here. (My navidrome is hosted on a different Ubuntu machine) Can I control the playback on my pc from the phone, and possibly display the artwork and current date time. Similar to Spotify carthing.
