minus-squarelud@lemm.eehexbear4·edit-28 months agoI 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. linkfedilink
minus-squareNicerLemmyUser@lemm.eehexagonhexbear1·8 months agoI 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? linkfedilink
minus-squarelud@lemm.eehexbear1·edit-28 months agoI suspect that Spotify restricts the connect capabilities and/or API to premium users. But since Spotify free has always been unusable, I don't see the problem. linkfedilink
