beatlocker VS librespot

Heh, what a coincidence. I was noticed the Android player Symfonium announced support for OpenSubsonic and the first link is this HN topic created less than an hour ago.

I might add support for it in the Subsonic server I wrote (mostly for personal use). https://github.com/datatrash/beatlocker

Ah, very interesting to read about Subsonic being used here. I was in the market for a similar setup a while ago and tried a bunch of different servers. Navidrome was clearly one of the better ones but didn't seem to support folder-based navigation, which I want to use (since most of my music is not structured as album-per-folder but rather as playlist-per-folder).

Like a good HN user I ended up writing my own Subsonic compatible server [0]. Haven't officially released it yet since it's missing a few features (most notably documentation and support for deleting files) but looks like it might be worthwhile to spend that effort. If you're feeling brave, you can compile it from source or grab the Docker edge image[1].

It is shitty they killed libspotify, but it isn't hard to reverse engineer the way the app communicates with the backend, this has already happened in the form of https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot as an example.

And if Apples ecosystem wasn't so locked down I could write a HomePod client using librespot and Daniel Ek could get however mad he wants about it.

https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot - it exists already. I'd just like to make it usable on a flip phone.

They use a version of this.

You want SnapCast. You'd run snapserver on your Linux box and snapclient on your Pi's. Snapserver has support for Airplay (via shairport-sync) and Spotify (via librespot). I recommend using MPD for your music library, as I don't think PlexAmp can output audio in a way that's useful for snapserver.

For the last tow days I'm trying to compile librespot for my Xiaomi Mop PRO STYJ02YM Vacuum Cleaner. Vacuum uses TinaLinux which uses OpenWRT under the hood. The platform is armv7.

Also, the base library doing the hard work of communicating with the proprietary Spotify service is still very healthy, since April 2015. I would say that is a pretty decent time no?

To replace it, I've purchased in-ceiling speakers and a Control 4 Amp (C4-16AMP3-B) which I can control via the network. I plan on using shareport-sync for AirPlay and librespot for spotify as the sources to play music. 90% of the use for my whole home audio is for music.

But, if I can control librespot, https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot that's interesting

You can also just use librespot, which acts as a Spotify Connect device so you can play music in your PC and control it from your phone in a very light way
