Play Spotify
Listen to music from your Spotify Premium music account. **Spotify has disabled the API access for
spotify-skill.forslund
Description:
Stream your favorite music from the popular Spotify music service. Spotify Premium users can search and play tracks from their own playlists or the huge Spotify music library.
You can also control your Mycroft device using the Spotify Connect system. So play DJ on your phone while listening on Mycroft!
This skill doesn't do any playback
This skill works with the Spotify Connect protocol to interact with Spotify devices, but doesn't perform any playback itself. If you want playback on the hosting Mycroft device, you'll need to set up a player yourself.
For Picroft users, raspotify is a good choice.
Install it and then make changes to /etc/default/raspotify.conf as follows
It is recommended to set the DEVICE_NAME to the name of the Mycroft unit (as registered at home.mycroft.ai) for automatic identification:
`DEVICE_NAME=""
set your Spotify username and password under
OPTIONS
OPTIONS="--username --password "
You make sound work with raspotify you may need to edit /lib/systemd/system/raspotify.service and there change User and Group from raspotifyto pi.
For desktop users the official spotify player works well.
The exception to this is the Mark-1 which is shipped with a spotify player library.
