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

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.

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?

Also this one, which I've come around to quite like :)
ncspot is another amazing option if you're comfortable with the terminal.
