Raspotify is aDebian package and associated repositoryforDebian Stable (Currently Debian 13 "Trixie")and other Debian Stable based/compatible OS's (your mileage may vary) which thinly wraps the awesomelibrespot library byPaul Lietar and others as asystemddaemon.

Raspotify is intended to be used in aheadless enviroment. For desktop OS'sspotifyd offers similar functionality and is a better choice. If you're looking for a turnkey audio solution for Raspberry Pi's with Spotify Connect support we recommendmoOde™ audio player.

Librespot, and therefore Raspotify, requires a premium account.

There are various"guides" floating around online. Most if not all of them are outdated and/or present incorrect information.Don't follow them.
