    Now playing dashboard for last.fm

  • I am running a website in full-screen mode that fetches data from last.fm about your currently playing track. It is a simplified version of this: https://github.com/peterdconradie/dash.fm

  • shairport-sync

    AirPlay and AirPlay 2 audio player

  • I use shairport-sync for airplay (https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync), complete instructions via: https://blog.adena.dev/blog/apple-airplay-on-raspberry-pi-in-7-easy-steps

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • raspotify

    A Spotify Connect client that mostly Just Works™

  • The last.fm site will work independently from airplay, so it will display whatever is playing, even if you are not using airplay to stream to your pi. Because it is just a standard Raspberry Pi OS running, you could also set it up as a MPD client https://linuxhint.com/raspberry-pi-music-station-mpd/ or https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify. As long as you are submitting music to last.fm the song will display.
