Spotify will reduce total headcount by 17% across the company
Lots and lots of FOSS music players use libspotify or can otherwise connect to your Spotify account. Here's just one. It's BYO frontend. https://mopidy.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
Bandcamp support is faltering – maybe you should download your music now
Probably a good time to give a shout out to Mopidy: https://mopidy.com/ Though as for myself, I'm still running Squeezebox - nothing like being able to SSH into your smart speaker and mess around with the Perl system that's running it. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music
I have a music library on my home server that I use mopidy to play via the iris plugin integrated into my home assistant UI. It plays over Snapcast which streams over the network to multiple devices in the home with independent volume control. I can fire up the Snapcast client in my phone to get it going there as well, which does work over vpn if I'm away, though I generally just fire up the files from my phones... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Whole home sync'd rpi audio w plex, spotify, airplay
Could instead use Mopidy as the music player, which has plugins for Spotify and Airplay support. Source: about 1 year ago
How I organize my digital music collection -- suggestions for metadata/storage/tools?
Thanks! I use it on a daily basis, but I don’t think it’s ready for a wider adoption yet — for example, a pause button is still missing ... I’d be curious to know your experience with it though! For something more stable, you might like Mopidy. Source: about 1 year ago
