Hi folks,
I would l8ke to use one of my rpi 4s as a spotify player but mainly to play saved spotify playlists locally downloaded on a stroage device or the sd card. I am in australia in a remote area using satellite internet. The link has a a very high latency and gets overwhelmed in the evenings, so the live streaming aint no good with spotify but playing saved playlists locally is great. I want to free up my andoid tablets / notebooks / phone and use one of my rpi 4s instead. Tried moode and other linux distros with spotify connects but they buffer badly at some point. I have a great pa system (hk audio) playing thru a topping ex5 dac but the streaming unless I dedicate a android device lets me down. I was hoping a emteria os on pi4 would work? Thought I would download the spotify apk and install it or maybe via fdroid. I have tried other pi linux ops but the latency kills em. Android seems to work well as long as the spotify playlists are saved locally. I dont really have a workable windows pc (15 years old). Web version of spotify on linux to slow. Also headless would be best.
Any ideas?
