      Nice writeup!

      It’s super cool to have Spotify on BSD, kind of surprised it’s not more known about.

      Indeed, I am currently working on an ncurses Spotify client for exactly this reason - to use Spotify on OpenBSD. I will gladly post it here if there’s interest and once it’s somewhat ready for the public.

        Please! What are you writing it in?

          Sure! This will be in Rust due to the tremendous work by the librespot project. So far you can only search for tracks and play them. No queues/playlists or anything else that’s fancy, though I hope to get done some work this year.

      I think I am the “OpenBSD person” mentioned :D - also, it’s possible to use the Web app along side spotifyd by removing a dumb element:

       window.addEventListener('load', function() {
    var a = document.getElementsByClassName('dialog')[0];
    a.parentNode.removeChild(a);
 });

      the Flash player got discontinued for one that uses widevine

      Ugh, DRM. Wait, how is it possible to have FOSS clients then?

      Is there a way to do something like cargo fetch-dependencies and avoid having to try an initial build?

      Yes, cargo fetch
