The alternative client [https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd spotifyd] is available as a package, [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/audio/spotifyd.nix nixos module], and [https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/blob/master/modules/services/spotifyd.nix home-manager module].

spotifyd ~~must have your credentials when it starts, otherwise it will not be able~~ to authenticate ~~with Spotify, and will not show up as~~ a ~~device~~. If installing spotifyd as a package, give it credentials ~~when starting, e.g.~~:

spotifyd can either act as a spotify-connect device and the local LAN without the need to authenticate.<ref>https://docs.spotifyd.rs/configuration/auth.html#discovery-on-lan</ref> It can also run through a manual login using oauth<ref>https://docs.spotifyd.rs/configuration/auth.html#discovery-on-lan</ref> If installing spotifyd as a package or as a systemd service via home-manager, give it oauth credentials using:

spotifyd auth

spotifyd ~~--username <USER> --password <PASS>~~

The authentication codes are stored in the cache directory for spotifyd.

~~If installing~~ spotifyd as a ~~systemd service via home~~-~~manager~~, ~~you~~ can ~~supply your credentials~~ via ~~options~~. ~~Example home-manager config~~:

spotifyd connects to spotify as a spotify-connect device. It offers no controls of its own, but can be controlled via [https://github.com/altdesktop/playerctl playerctl] or [https://github.com/LargeModGames/spotatui spotatui].
