Using the Raspotify software package, we can set up your Raspberry Pi so that it can work as a cheap Spotify Connect device.
Working as a Spotify Connect device allows you to easily stream songs from any Spotify app to your Raspberry Pi. This setup is an affordable way of connecting any speakers to Spotify.
In addition to showing you how to install the Spotify connect software, we will walk you through some of the basic configuration options that you can specify.
While this isn’t the full Spotify, it does allow you to easily use any other device to play music from your Raspberry Pi. It also allows you to run Spotify on your Raspberry Pi in a completely headless setup.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
