Spot is a native Spotify client for gnome.

I have been using this but it finds music on yt, sometimes finding wrong songs or just not finding them at all. Though I have to admit it's really cool!

This is my main music app these days.

Occasionally spotty (pun intended) but otherwise awesome.

Noice!

How? When I opened it up it asks for a login to Spotify before I can do anything

[–] blkpws@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah right, at that time I didn't know where I had my phone, now that I found it I tested the app and I only can play music from the main tab, but the tab "search" and "library" is asking me to log in... xD sadness

Better forget of Spotify.

Yeesh, that is objectionable. I miss when I was in the dark about this, thanks a lot.

Wow, didn't know about this and never would've expected this. I guess sometimes we should expect the unexpected. Thanks for this article!

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?

[–] Rand0mA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Presumably it makes use of API access.

I may be slight off here, but for anything other than viewing currently playing, and maybe a few other things, you need premium to choose a track, and control the player.

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 like spotify-qt on desktop. it disconnects from time to time on its own, but otherwise it works just fine.
