I have been using this but it finds music on yt, sometimes finding wrong songs or just not finding them at all. Though I have to admit it's really cool!
I have seen most, if not all spotify frontends (that actually play music from spotify rather than finding the stream on yt) require spotify premium. Why is that so?
I may be slight off here, but for anything other than viewing currently playing, and maybe a few other things, you need premium to choose a track, and control the player.
ncspot is great, spotify-tui is another, and in the past I've had some success using mopidy-spotify and an mpd frontend (a discontinued but very cool one called Cantata).

This is my main music app these days.
Occasionally spotty (pun intended) but otherwise awesome.

How? When I opened it up it asks for a login to Spotify before I can do anything

Yeesh, that is objectionable. I miss when I was in the dark about this, thanks a lot.

Wow, didn't know about this and never would've expected this. I guess sometimes we should expect the unexpected. Thanks for this article!

I use Spotify-player together with Spotifyd.
Spotify-player can play music on it's own but I prefer to use it with Spotifyd so that I can close Spotify-player without stopping the music.
Spotify-tui like someone else mentioned is great. Unfortunately it's abandoned and doesn't work well anymore.

Presumably it makes use of API access.
I may be slight off here, but for anything other than viewing currently playing, and maybe a few other things, you need premium to choose a track, and control the player.

I suspect that Spotify restricts the connect capabilities and/or API to premium users.
But since Spotify free has always been unusable, I don't see the problem.

I like
spotify-qton desktop. it disconnects from time to time on its own, but otherwise it works just fine.https://github.com/kraxarn/spotify-qt/
