  • Trying to make e ink device with Linux. Kind of lost
    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
  • Flatpak Spotify vs Tab in Firefox browser
    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
  • Dear Spotify. Can we just get table of songs?
    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
  • linux good windows bad
    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).

  • What's Up with AVPlayer?
    I was looking for KDE music players. Only Amarok and Elisa are KDE projects out of the ones you listed. KDE's six music players (yes I found another one) are Amarok, AudioTube, Elisa, JuK, Soundcloud Player for Plasma Bigscreen (great name) and Vvave. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Music App for Linux?
    The second app doesn't have local file music functionality, but is basically another Youtube Music Premium access app for KDE....again, for free. It is called AudioTube. Source: almost 2 years ago
