librespot
librespot is an open source client library for Spotify. It enables applications to use Spotify's service, without using the official but closed-source libspotify. Additionally, it provides extra features which are not available in the official library.
Status
librespot is currently under development and is not fully functional yet. You are however welcome to experiment with it.
Building
Building librespot requires rust nightly. It will not work on rust stable or beta.
You will also need the protobuf compiler, and the
rust-protobuf plugin.
protoc-gen-rust must be in your $PATH.
Once you've cloned this repository you can build librespot using cargo.
cargo build
Usage
A sample program implementing a headless Spotify Connect receiver is provided. Once you've built librespot, run it using :
target/debug/main APPKEY USERNAME PASSWORD CACHEDIR DEVICENAME
where APPKEY is the path to a Spotify application key file, USERNAME and
PASSWORD are your Spotify credentials, CACHEDIR is the path to directory
where data will be cached, and DEVICENAME is the name that will appear in the
Spotify Connect menu.
Disclaimer
Using this code to connect to Spotify's API is probably forbidden by them, and might result in you application key getting banned. Use at you own risk
