Raspotify is a Debian package that wraps the librespot library as a systemd daemon, turning a Raspberry Pi or other Debian-based machine into a headless Spotify Connect client. It is distributed as .deb packages for multiple architectures and requires a Spotify Premium account.
Use cases
- turn a raspberry pi into a spotify connect speaker
- stream spotify to a headless linux device
- set up a diy spotify audio receiver on debian
- play spotify on a speaker via spotify connect
- run a spotify client daemon on raspbian
When to choose
- you want a simple apt-installable Spotify Connect client for a headless Debian/Raspberry Pi setup
- you need a systemd daemon that runs at boot without a desktop environment
- you have a Spotify Premium account and ARM64/AMD64/RISC-V hardware
When to avoid
- you run a desktop OS - spotifyd is a better fit
- you have an ARMv6 device like Pi v1 or Pi Zero v1.x
- you only have a free Spotify account
- you need a turnkey audio player with a UI - consider moOde audio player
