AFAICT the community of unixy-hackers who used libspotify had moved on to librespot, eg. with spotifyd. Though of course, I don't know about every use case, and mopidy does seem stuck with the web api instead, which is weird considering the rise in popularity of spotifyd and spotify-tui.
- amelius 4y agoIsn't a library like this essential for companies that build e.g. active speakers which support streaming from Spotify? So, shouldn't there be an official library?
- sascha_sl 4y agoThere is an SDK behind a "Contact Us" button and presumably an NDA. librespot uses that API.
- adamcik 4y agoThe plan for mopidy-spotify was to move towards web-api for everything we could to be on the official APIs where possible. So the end state would have been only streaming left on libspotify, then figure out how to get librespot and GStreamer to play well enough together (there is a plugin but it's missing at least one feature we need). But as you can see in issue #110 this goal hasn't been reached yet.
