• Spotify-Qt

  https://github.com/xou816/spot Also this one, which I've come around to quite like :) ncspot is another amazing option if you're comfortable with the terminal. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Ok, I'm joining! BUT...

  Spotify desktop client sucks. I'm using browser or Spot as alternatives. Source: about 1 year ago

• Spot, a Spotify client for GNOME, is being revived!

  Contribute to development in Spot’s GitHub repository. Source: about 1 year ago

• Spot (Native Spotify client for GNOME) seems unmaintained.

  Hello fellow GNOME enthusiasts. I think I'm not the only one that happily uses the beautiful native Spotify client Spot. Source: about 1 year ago

• 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

• Survey: Your Favorite Apps

  A lot of cool apps mentioned here! Here are some I didn't spot, Spot - Is an awesome Spotify client for GNOME (Requires a premium account). Source: over 1 year ago

• Survey: Your Favorite Apps

  Spot: A native Gnome Spotify client. Best client out there IMO. Official client is really resource-hungry. Terminal-based ones are great and very light I know, but hey c'mon: you are Gnome person, so you love GUI. Source: over 1 year ago

• Spotify have finally killed 3rd party streaming apps

  Https://github.com/xou816/spot still works for me. I use that on my Pinephone to play music. If/when that stops, to continue playing music on my Pinephone will require migrating to a self-managed collection. Disappointing but doable. Can anyone recommend DRM free music providers? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Unofficial Spotify Client for the Nintendo Switch (PoC)

  You mentioned needing to reverse engineer the API for browsing etc. I think you can just see what Spot [0] does instead! [0] https://github.com/xou816/spot. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Streaming song with Spotify SDK. It's possible?

  I wanna create a alternative client like this https://github.com/xou816/spot for android, taking a look at SDK https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/android/ it allows me to control my Spotify App. Anyway to stream a song directly in my app instead spotify using the sdk or the api?

• Two Years of Life with PinePhone

  True. Well, mostly: You can use Spotify Premium, thanks to Spot: https://github.com/xou816/spot (I could go into bridging WhatsApp over Matrix, or using WhatsApp Web, but I realize that that's most likely to painful for most. Also, Waydroid makes lots of things work, but the side-effects on battery life made it seem impractical to me, to be honest.). - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Dear Spotify. Can we just get table of songs?

  There are some alternative frontends for Spotify available. None of the ones I found works on M1 mac, but Windows and Linux users have some options available. https://github.com/jpochyla/psst https://github.com/toothbrush/Spotiqueue https://github.com/xou816/spot. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Spotify has shut down libspotify

  Nice, bookmarked it. For anyone on GNOME I'd recommend Spot https://github.com/xou816/spot. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Is the madness ever going to end?

  I think it's a huge pity that we're so reliant on platforms instead of protocols - there would be native Slack clients for every platform. Spotify buck the trend, Spot is a fantastic app https://github.com/xou816/spot. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Spotify or YouTube Music ?

  My fellow indian friend, its https://github.com/xou816/spot its for linux I think. Source: over 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).
