Spotifyd

An open source Spotify client running as a UNIX daemon.

Project Website

Spotifyd streams music just like the official client, but is more lightweight and supports more platforms. Spotifyd also supports the Spotify Connect protocol, which makes it show up as a device that can be controlled from the official clients.

Note: Spotifyd requires a Spotify Premium account.

To read about how to install and configure Spotifyd, take a look at our wiki!

Common issues

• Spotifyd will not work without Spotify Premium
• The device name cannot contain spaces
