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).

According to Spotify's data report site[0], there were 17,800 artists grossing over $50k from Spotify, out of a denominator of ~8 million, or 200k if you use Spotify's estimate of “professional or professionally aspiring”.

It also does put a (not insignificant) number on the independents... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Just 20% of spotify artists have more than 50 listeners. Additionally there are an estimate 80 million total tracks on Spotify and only 719,000 tracks have more than 1 million views, that's less than 1%. Haken are literally in the top 1% of artists on spotify. This is based on 2021 data: https://loudandclear.byspotify.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
AFAIK royalties are paid out for every stream over 30 seconds long. The 'context' (album, playlist, single play) doesn't matter. "royalties [are] based on an artist’s share of overall streams across the platform" [1] My guess is that playlists lead to more engagement than albums. Users listen longer, and discover new music, which leads to more listening in the future. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

And your own comment literally never mentions the Big Three. > can all be screwing over creators in conjunction with their publishers. I prefer not to wade in to conspiracy territory. Apple may have power over the industry, but they are an outlier. The rest do whatever the industry tels them... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
