Spotify-Qt
On the other hand, this Rust-based one called Psst looks awesome and works: https://github.com/jpochyla/psst

This is the best Linux has ever been. Truly.
Psst but currently very limited in features and have to build yourself.
-
Spot - a simple spotify CLI made in python
psst, https://github.com/jpochyla/psst
-
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
I don't know how can I install this open source software from github.
-
Flatpak Spotify vs Tab in Firefox browser
Would like to add that you can also use clients such as spotify-qt and Spotify TUI to control said "device". There's also Spot and psst that are standalone (librespot not required but no Connect functionality).
-
Rust audio library
You can also take a look at Psst. I use Symphonia for decoding and CPAL or CubeB for output. CubeB is a bit nicer.
-
Spotify running on FreeBSD
There's also this project, written in Rust, which is a great GUI Spotify client https://github.com/jpochyla/psst
-
Druid app for public transport data
There‘s a Spotify client, psst, which has an Async widget (with a Promise state struct) that works very well for loading states etc. That project has a bunch of other tidbits and interesting patterns for Druid, I learned a ton from the code.

Spotify HiFi is still MIA after three years, and now so is my subscription
I looked into swapping to Apple Music before but couldn't find a way to play lossless music on Linux making swapping pointless. Apparently[0] decryption for lossless isn't supported for 3rd party clients.
Anyone know of a way around this?

How iTunes Is Changing on PC
It's basically a open source frontend for Apple Music that works on Linux and Windows. It's what I use to listen to my Apple Music songs on Linux, and it's amazing.

Apple Music MacOs App
Hey, I’ve hade the problem for a long and I thankfully found a amazing 3rd party solution. It’s called Cider and you can find it here. Cider I hope this satisfies you :)

AM UI alternative on MacOS?
Are there any alternatives to the Music.app for MacOS, similar to Cider for Windows?
-
Is there a Windows client?
I would recommend Cider: https://cider.sh/

Apple needs to redesign the desktop app
If you’re on windows. check this out. It’s a beautiful design and works just as good as you’d expect it to
-
The same could be said about video game launchers
apple music will do up to 192khz 24bit on iPhone and the interface is pretty nice, you can listen at spotify quality (320kbps?) on pc with Cinder which also has a pretty good interface
-
We need a more intuitive and modern AM desktop client
