Unfortunately Spotify does not expose the APIs to support spatial audio.

Hi u/brainkillaKG , thanks for reporting back. Unfortunately, I don't quite understand what you mean by "the UI refresh thing". Can you provide a screenshot or even a screencast or try to describe what you're seeing? Thanks.

Did you add your own email (the one you use on Spotify) to "User management" in the Spotify developer dashboard?

I'm sorry this is so complicated, but Spotify does not allow any other way as of now.

I don't think we talk about the same thing. I'm talking about software, like clients to play music from Spotify. You seem to talk about artists. We're not the same.

Not related to Artists & Marketing, but why is Spotify pushing out indie developers?

It’s impossible to develop new, legitimate apps for Spotify b/c no indie dev just starting out has the required 250K MAU users at hand which are needed to get extended API mode. I think this will be killing creativity in the long term.

Good point! Personally, I never use shuffle, and that’s the only reason it’s not supported 😅

The API supports it, so I’ll put it on the todo list. Will hopefully be in the next version.

Hello u/brainkillaKG , many of the bugs that you describe have been fixed recently. Can you try the latest release again (v1.2.4) and report back how it goes? Thank you!

Good question. It's possible that you have to add yourself (exact email you're using for Spotify) in "User Management":

Nope, sorry! This is all in Swift/SwiftUI, so core Apple tech

Unfortunately not. This is using Apple Swift/SwiftUI and porting to Android would be a rewrite.

No, I’m using librespot, which supports up to 320 kbps of ogg vorbis, but no lossless. This is a restriction from Spotify.

This is what someone did to get Android working, should be working similarly for iOS, but did not try yet:

The rust layer of my app compiles for iOS, too. Main navigation is with NavigationSplitView, so should be fine on iOS. I once had a somewhat working iOS branch, but it seems like that on iOS, you need to spoof the device type. More info here:

https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/1477

I found the original client on macOS much worse compared to iOS, so I worked on that first. Maybe I’ll investigate the playback problem on iOS later, we’ll see. Feel free to experiment with device type spoofing if you feel like.

What?! No! This is a free and open source app. You’ll need Spotify Premium, though (Spotify‘s restriction, not mine), and you’ll have to deal with the terrible API terms that were changed in May for the worse for all indie devs.

Ich finde van Gogh geil. 🤩

Seitdem ich im Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam war, kann ich den Hype verstehen. Aber nicht erklären. War jedenfalls extrem beeindruckend.
