Nuclear Music Player VS Spotify-qt

Win/Mac/Linux : Nuclear : https://github.com/nukeop/nuclear Radio mode automatically plays similar songs. If the connection is slow, You can change Invidious : https://docs.invidious.io/instances/. Source: 10 months ago

Nuclear (Win/Mac/Linux) : is audio only, but plays similar songs at random. It's a radio mode. It can also change its randomness. The exact same artist is not consecutive. But it will come back to the same artist. There seems to be a few bugs in terms of usability. Source: 11 months ago

Nuclear is a music player that will use various sources around the internet such as YouTube and Bandcamp to search for and stream music completely ad free. The client itself keeps track of your artists, playlists, and likes. It doesn't require an account or any personal information to use and at times feels too good to be true. On the downside it's sometimes slow to play music of fails to play songs on occasion.... Source: about 1 year ago

Nuclear is an app that will stream music from multiple sources including soundcloud, bandcamp, and youtube to give you the same features as a streaming service without ads or tracking. Yes, this is also completely open-source. Source: about 1 year ago

If you want to run Spotify on a Raspberry (or PinePhone or some other device), there’s Spot, which is great, but kinda heavy and slow. There’s Spotify-qt which is faster, requires messing with Spotify developer dashboard, and UI doesn’t fit on small screens. Spotify-qt is itself based on Spotify-tui which runs in the terminal (pretty cool IMO). And a bare client/daemon is spotifyd. So you have quite a few choices... Source: over 1 year ago

Would like to add that you can also use clients such as spotify-qt and Spotify TUI to control said "device". There's also Spot and psst that are standalone (librespot not required but no Connect functionality). Source: over 1 year ago

I have been using spotify-qt[1] lately. It's quite close to the original client from more than 10 years ago. 1. https://github.com/kraxarn/spotify-qt. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

You could use an an unofficial client, for example: - Spot (GTK, can stream directly) - spotify-qt (QT, just a Spotify connect frontend, so you need something like spotifyd running) - spotify-tui (terminal, again just a Spotify connect frontend) - spotifyd (daemon that is controlled via Spotify connect).
