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 will provide extra features which are not available in the official library.
Note: librespot only works with Spotify Premium

Building
Rust 1.20.0 or later is required to build librespot.
If you are building librespot on macOS, the homebrew provided rust may fail due to the way in which homebrew installs rust. In this case, uninstall the homebrew version of rust and use rustup, and librespot should then build. This should have been fixed in more recent versions of Homebrew, but we're leaving this notice here as a warning.
It also requires a C, with portaudio.
On debian / ubuntu, the following command will install these dependencies :
sudo apt-get install build-essential portaudio19-dev
On Fedora systems, the following command will install these dependencies :
sudo dnf install portaudio-devel make gcc
On macOS, using homebrew :
brew install portaudio
Once you've cloned this repository you can build librespot using cargo.
cargo build --release
Usage
A sample program implementing a headless Spotify Connect receiver is provided. Once you've built librespot, run it using :
target/release/librespot --name DEVICENAME
