MPD 0.17.x supports Spotify now - I spent some time figuring out how to get all the dependencies taken care of, so the next release will ship with Spotify support.multiblitz wrote:one question....how difficult would it be to have a choice between standard mpd and mopidy ? If i got it right mopidy does the same as mpd, but adds spotify...even mpad works with it....that would be extremely cool...highend for your own discs through mpdpup plus the flexibilty of spotify....my sonos system would be obsolete....
Mopidy looks like it requires quite a few dependencies, so getting all those working would be a bit of work. I'm not sure if it offers any specific advantages working with Spotify vs. MPD's implementation. Seeing that it's based on Python it's definitely not as light weight as MPD.
Note that a spotify premium account is required for either project.
