Are there any open-source spotify frontends? If there aren’t, why not?
Spot is a native Spotify client for gnome.
How? When I opened it up it asks for a login to Spotify before I can do anything
ncspot is great, spotify-tui is another, and in the past I’ve had some success using mopidy-spotify and an mpd frontend (a discontinued but very cool one called Cantata).
I use Spotify-player together with Spotifyd.
Spotify-player can play music on it’s own but I prefer to use it with Spotifyd so that I can close Spotify-player without stopping the music.
Spotify-tui like someone else mentioned is great. Unfortunately it’s abandoned and doesn’t work well anymore.
I have seen most, if not all spotify frontends (that actually play music from spotify rather than finding the stream on yt) require spotify premium. Why is that so?
