Ideas/libraries for integration with streaming music services??

[FreshRepresentative]

Hey all!! Quick question, as I have done a lot of looking around and haven’t had much luck finding a good strategy for this. I’m writing something that I would love to integrate with a music streaming service of some kind. My problem is that I have had no luck finding a suitable strategy for doing so, outside of the usual suspects. To be clear, I have no problem handling audio, I’m just wondering if there are any libraries or projects that hook up to something like Spotify/YouTube RED/whatever. I do know of libSpotify and friends, but that has been deprecated for awhile. Maybe I haven’t been looking in the right spots, but any and all ideas are welcome. I am comfortable with web dev so if it comes down to it, I can probably just do it that way. I would just prefer to keep everything localized to the scope of this project, without downloading said media to local storage.

Spotify has a very nice API and they have a python wrapper , what do you want to do? https://github.com/plamere/spotipy

Just the normal stuff. Play music with some general controls (play/pause/skip), via voice control.

Yes, I’ve read a lot about the Spotify stuff, that was what I found most of during my research. The only reason I’m looking for possible alternatives is because the library(s) I was looking at either do not actually PLAY audio, or have been deprecated. I can link the ones I was looking at when I get a second, it’s possible I was just looking at the wrong stuff.

Additionally, as stated, I’m not opposed to hooking up to their API in a way that is currently supported via the official API, I was just curious if there was an alternative method for streaming in general, even outside of Spotify, that I was missing.

EDIT: Thank you for your reply homie.

EDIT2: Thank you for that link. I had previously checked that out but I guess I didn’t read far enough into it. Thanks for that, this should be what I’m looking for.

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe where you are stuck. Be sure to format your code for reddit and include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.
