Spotify Lite (Go Lang)

Simple Spotify Client built in go lang and fyne

Disclaimer

This repo / app has nothing to with the Official Spotify clients. This is an unofficial client with a GUI for existing connected remote spotify devices.

Scope

This app doesn't act as a replacement to the desktop client of Spotify since there is no way for me to play the actual audio right now. (If there is, let me know via a Pull Request of mail me the resources that you think would help)

Instead, This was built with my personal use case in mind where you have a burner/old smartphone connected to spotify and a bluetooth Speaker.

If I wanted to change a track I either have to walk to the device which is normally on the other end of the room or open spotify on my mac book and the webpage takes up 300-500mb worth of memory and that's not something my RAM can afford with other dev tools running on it.

The app will add on other features but unless spotify releases a desktop player sdk, I doubt I'll be making this app any more complex than it needs to be.

Alteratives ?

• There's a plugin/add-on on VS Code called Music Time that can be used to provide similar functionality but uses the install spotify to work (again, Both being RAM hungry)

TLDR;

This tools is a lite remote control for an already active device playing a playlist on spotify.

Features

• Control Spotify Playback

Roadmap

At this point, the primary goal is to have a working client that can change the current track in the playlist and play pause when needed. Additional Features would include

• Searching and playlist, showing current playlist
• Playlists (Add, Remove, Add to, Remove from, Play selected)
• Start Radio of current playing song
• Change to one of connected devices.
