> An open source Spotify client running as a UNIX daemon.

[Project Website](https://spotifyd.rs)

Spotifyd streams music just like the official client, but is more lightweight and supports more platforms. Spotifyd also supports the Spotify Connect protocol, which makes it show up as a device that can be controlled from the official clients.

> __Note:__ Spotifyd requires a Spotify Premium account.

__To read about how to install and configure Spotifyd, take a look at our [wiki][wiki]!__

## Contributing

We always appreciate help during the development of `spotifyd`! If you are new to programming, open source or Rust in general, take a look at issues tagged with [`good first issue`][good-first-issues]. These normally are easy to resolve and don't take much time to implement.

## Credits

This project would not have been possible without the amazing reverse engineering work done in [librespot](https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot), mostly by [plietar](https://github.com/plietar).
