I have seen most, if not all spotify frontends (that actually play music from spotify rather than finding the stream on yt) require spotify premium. Why is that so?
I suspect that Spotify restricts the connect capabilities and/or API to premium users.
But since Spotify free has always been unusable, I don't see the problem.
