psst VS ncspot

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

Psst but currently very limited in features and have to build yourself.

I don't know how can I install this open source software from github.

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).

You can also take a look at Psst. I use Symphonia for decoding and CPAL or CubeB for output. CubeB is a bit nicer.

There's also this project, written in Rust, which is a great GUI Spotify client https://github.com/jpochyla/psst

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.

have a look at ncspot :)

Have tried this several times but I find it drops off the network as a remote play device.

If you have a PC with the Spotify app running, that appears as a remote play device to other clients.

Otherwise I found ncspot to be more reliable than spotifyd: https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot/

ncspot is good, although it's maybe the client least likely to mesh with the whole "let a music player control lights in my room" mentality.

Check out https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot I've found it better than any of the other tui based Spotify clients
