| Summary | 0002459: Spotify support | |||||
| Description | Spotify is a streaming service that lets you access literally millions of tracks. Free accounts are available in some countries, but with spoken ads after every couple of songs, and there are also paid accounts (14usd a month) that let you avoid these. The program/service is very popular in Scandinavia, and increasingly in the rest of Europe. Several other companies are starting to release similar products, including Microsoft. It would probably be a good idea to write this feature in a way that would make it simple to add support for similar services. | |||||
| Additional Information | The service itself is located at www.spotify.com There is also a command line client recently made available for linux, at www.despotify.se Its source code could be a very good reference for this project as well. The service requires authentication. | |||||

Not saying this isn't true, and ultimately it's up to the MPD devs, but clients appear to do this fine on their own (ie. Jamendo & Magnatune support in gmpc). OTOH, it would be nice in MPD, but should probably be relegated to 3rd party support and not a part of the actual project. |

"Despotify has been blocked for users using ‘Free’ accounts." Looks like Spotify does not approve free clients such as Despotify. I'm not willing to pay for an account just to implement MPD support for it, because personally, I'm not interested in Spotify at all. |

As far as I'm aware despotify chose to do this themselves, because they aren't able to show the ads that normally finance free accounts. |

MPD cannot and will not show ads either. You could ask Spotify for the protocol documentation, and ask them to provide a free (as in beer) account for me, so I can write the code. |

Looking into it, it seems you are correct. Spotify blocked access from free accounts using despotify. How long do you estimate it would take you to add support for spotify in mpd? |

Won't implement unless there is protocol documentation available. |
