=== spotifyd ===

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 --username <USER> --password <PASS>

If installing spotifyd via home-manager, you can supply your credentials via options. Example home-manager config:

services.spotifyd = {

enable = true;

settings =

{

global = {

username = "Alex";

password = "foo";

};

}

;

}

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/Rigellute/spotify-tui spotify-tui].
