A spotify daemon
An open source Spotify client running as a UNIX daemon.
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.

We always appreciate help during the development of spotifyd! If you are new to programming, open source or Rust in general, take a look at issues tagged with good first issue. These normally are easy to resolve and don’t take much time to implement.
This project would not have been possible without the amazing reverse engineering work done in librespot, mostly by plietar.
