Librespot doesn't work on a free account

Open szymonmatuszczak opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Hello!

I would like to run the librespot on a free account? Where do I need to edit the code? Is changing "accountReq": "PREMIUM" to "accountReq": "FREE" in src/discovery.rs enough?

This repository is unmaintained. The issue is being tracked here: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/261. Free accounts cannot use librespot at the moment. We've contacted the Spotify devs to seek clarification on a few things, at which point free accounts may be supported, or they may not, depending on the work required. The change you mentioned will not do anything.

Free account is not allowed by spotify itself to use another device apart the one you're logged in to listen to the playback. You MUST have spotify premium. Spotify rules :/
