Spotifyd is an open source Spotify client written in Rust that runs as a lightweight UNIX daemon, streaming music like the official client. It supports the Spotify Connect protocol so it appears as a controllable device in official Spotify clients, and requires a Premium account.
Use cases
- run spotify headless on a raspberry pi
- play spotify music on a linux server without the official client
- turn an old computer into a spotify connect speaker
- lightweight spotify client that uses less memory
- control music playback from my phone to a home server
- stream spotify to a device without a gui
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, headless Spotify client on Linux/macOS/BSD
- you want a Spotify Connect device on hardware that can't run the official client
- you prefer an open-source client and have a Premium account
When to avoid
- you don't have a Spotify Premium account
- you need the full official client UI with browsing and playlists
- you need a graphical desktop music player
