Software powering the sPot, a 4th-generation iPod Classic retrofitted with a full Spotify client running on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. It combines a Tkinter-based frontend UI with a click-wheel input handler and Spotify API integration.

Use cases

  • build a working Spotify player inside an old iPod
  • repurpose vintage iPod hardware with modern streaming
  • run a Spotify client on a Raspberry Pi Zero W
  • interface a click wheel with Raspberry Pi GPIO
  • create a retro-styled dedicated music player

When to avoid

  • you want a polished, supported music app for everyday devices
  • you don't have the specific iPod hardware or Raspberry Pi
  • you need a Spotify client without premium API credentials
