Trying to make e ink device with Linux. Kind of lost
If you want to run Spotify on a Raspberry (or PinePhone or some other device), there’s Spot, which is great, but kinda heavy and slow. There’s Spotify-qt which is faster, requires messing with Spotify developer dashboard, and UI doesn’t fit on small screens. Spotify-qt is itself based on Spotify-tui which runs in the terminal (pretty cool IMO). And a bare client/daemon is spotifyd. So you have quite a few choices there.

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).

Question about Spotify package
spotify-qt, https://github.com/kraxarn/spotify-qt - in the repos

linux good windows bad
You could use an an unofficial client, for example: - Spot (GTK, can stream directly) - spotify-qt (QT, just a Spotify connect frontend, so you need something like spotifyd running) - spotify-tui (terminal, again just a Spotify connect frontend) - spotifyd (daemon that is controlled via Spotify connect)

TIL that Facebook DMCA‘d the GitHub repository for the Unofficial Instagram API (used by many archiving tools)
IIRC, Spotify requires that you be a premium user to have API access to be able to use unofficial native clients like this one, and Discord will straight up ban your account if you try to use a third party client too much. BetterDiscord is a mod for the first-party client, so it behaves similarly enough that it's difficult for them to detect it. But it happened to a friend of mine that was using the WeeChat plugin while it was still being developed. There's plenty of other instances of similar situations with other services.
- Is there a music player app that can play Spotify? The Spotify official/AUR/snap/flatpak client always crashes.

Do you want Linux phones?
> Spotify is a big ask because google would have to port widevine (the web DRM.)
Spotify shouldn't be a problem [0][1] using librespot [2]. As for banking, I can't speak for all of Europe, but web apps are generally optimized for desktop use, apps have some convinient features, like scanning the QR code of a bill and pay it with one tap, instead of having to type in everything manually when it's on paper, or copy paste it from a PDF.
Additionally some banks require an app for 2FA for the web interface on PC too.

Ask HN: How is the Spotify app so bad?
For those unaware, it's possible to use alternative clients for Spotify using a 3rd party daemon.

Update on the suggestion for Spotify to take ownership of the Flatpak
you don't need another frontend. preferred client to handle streaming for spotify-tui is spotifyd.

Spotify users, do you recommend spotify-easyrpm or the flatpak?
If you're using a premium account, you could also try to use the browser to control and spotifyd to play: https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd

I used a Raspberry Pi and Arduino to fix/upgrade an old broken Jukebox
Spotifyd runs on Linux, can also be recognized by Spotify app as an output requires premium, not sure about touch screen compatability
- As a micro services expert, I know the fix for that: did you try sticking it into a systemd daemon that restarts it automatically when it crashes?
- Spotifyd
- spotifyd: open source Spotify client running as a UNIX daemon
What are some alternatives?
When comparing spotify-qt and spotifyd you can also consider the following projects:
spot - Native Spotify client for the GNOME desktop
librespot - Open Source Spotify client library
com.spotify.Client
raspotify - A Spotify Connect client that mostly Just Works™
cspot - A Spotify Connect player targeting, but not limited to embedded devices (ESP32).
nvim-spotify - For productivity addicts who enjoy coding while listening to Spotify, and cannot lose their focus switching to the app to control their music.
Clementine - :tangerine: Clementine Music Player
spotify-tui - Spotify for the terminal written in Rust 🚀
Akira - Native Linux App for UI and UX Design built in Vala and GTK
spotify-adblock - Adblocker for Spotify
