raspotify/spotifyd aren't alternative desktop clients, they're connect clients, great if you want to modern-ify an old amplifier, but not useful for streaming.

All of the native desktop clients (psst, spot, etc) are missing quite a few features compared to the official client, and spotify-tui is nowhere near as nice to use.

Spotifyd can be a desktop client. It doesn’t have a UI, but you can send it commands over dbus.

Spotifyd on my laptop (often started initially with connect) is my primary method of listing to Spotify.
