I haven't been able to get spotifyd to work, but I've been using Mopidy and MopidySpotify for years.

  What frontend have you been using for mopidy? I've been looking into it as a potential Clementine replacement since Clementine's Spotify support is dead. Basically I want a good interface for managing large playlists (so nativeish lists with multi select support for add/remove/reorder, not an album art focused UI), and support for mixing Spotify, local and network shared tracks in a single playlist.

    Mopidy Iris is the most polished but it doesn't yet support the latest and greatest Mopidy v3. https://mopidy.com/ext/ https://mopidy.com/ext/

Does anyone know why Spotify doesn’t pursue name rights or DMCA takedowns in all these OSS projects, as they reverse engineer and use Spotify’s name? Snapchat practices DMCA/copyright for a lot for these sort of projects.

  Snapchat and Spotify have very different kinds of business models.

    I wish the TV industry can accept way of Spotify is the way to go. Instead, now we have dozens of streaming platforms with exclusive contents.

      They can't, because they have a different business model. For TV content producers, consumers paying for content (with either dollars or eyeballs) is their main source of income. But for musicians, most of their money comes from playing live shows. So Spotify can be much more relaxed about revenue than HBO.

        It also costs a good deal less for a band to put out an album than it does to make a season of game of thrones.
