I use it only for Spotify
- emptysongglass 5y agoYou can try https://github.com/jpochyla/psst https://github.com/jpochyla/psst for Electron-less Spotify. I use the AUR package on Arch. It was crashy some months ago but now works great.
- PaulHoule 5y agoCan’t you just use the web site?
- Avamander 5y agoBoth major browsers are Snaps as well. The web site also has a significant additional control latency when playing on a device on your local network.
- Kelteseth 5y agoI tried this but for me closing the browser sometimes means, being done with work or a task and this would always also shut down my music. It's the small things that still drive me to install their client, even though I know it is just another electron app.
- ugjka 5y agoThe web player only does 128kbit AAC stream
- jmholla 5y agoI install Spotify through `apt`. What benefits do you get from installing their snap?
- ugjka 5y agoThey sometimes forget to update the .Deb version >@Romario74 That is not the case; while on Snap they packaged v77, if you look here you will find that the Spotify devs have not been updating the .deb releases. Re-packaging Snaps is less convenient than using a .deb tarball, and is being done through scripts by this Github project, which is in turn repackaged by @Edu4rdSHL. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spotify https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spotify So i run snapd on system
