Great module!

I have a question, can I listening music with him?
Sorry for reliving old post.

@nex0 Not sure if I understand the question.

This module is only a front end for Spotify Connect Web and does not play music.

But IF your Raspberry Pi where you have installed
Spotify Connect Web (not the module) have speakers connected and IF you get your hands on a API key from Spotify then you can play music and see what song in my module.

@Cato Ok, I understand, thanks!

Another question… In spotify I get:

The libspotify key generation and retrieval service has been deprecated, along with libspotify.
You may apply to get a key using our App-key Request Form for private, individual usage. Bear in mind that you should do no new development using libspotify.

But when I request the key, they do not send it to me, does anyone have any news of this? Or another solution!

Thanks!

@nex0
I had to submit the form twice. I waited several weeks after first key request, then just sent the same request again and received the key one or two days later

Hello. Is there a workaround to use Spotify on the RPi? Like using the webplayer somehow, vlc, anything. I can’t find anything that works, so I figured I’d ask here.

you can use mopidy as a alternative.
pro: you can use also soundcloud, youtube, webradio etc
cons: no spotify conect, you have to use a mpd app or the webpage

newer spotify connect app - raspotify works out of the box:
