- Spotify Won't Download Music
- Spotify Web Player should be one of the most-loved websites in the world, as it lets you access the Spotify musical universe directly through your web browser. It’s kind of brilliant but also terribly flawed, with many people reporting that it’s not working properly or at all on various browsers.
- It always works for me, the trick is to have your Spotify on PC and phone opened at the same time. EDIT: I discovered that when your phone downloads the songs with this method, the PC shows heavy network usage, as it is uploading the songs to your phone through Spotify.

tl;dr
Download Spotify Spotify is an app within the Garmin Connect IQ ecosystem, which you can find via the smartphone app. Head to the app and choose the More tab and then Connect IQ Store.
Install the Spotify Connect client on your Raspberry Pi,
Introduction
Raspotify is a Spotify Connect client forRaspbian on the Raspberry Pithat Just Works™. Raspotify is aDebian package and associated repositorywhich thinly wraps the awesomelibrespot library byPaul Lietar and others. It works out of the box onall three revisions of the Pi, immediately after installation.
Download Latest Version
Head on over to the releasespage to download themost recent version and install the Debian package. Or followthe directions below.
Requirements
Raspotify works on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.You’ll need a Spotify Premium account in orderto use Connect.
Raspotify should work on any Pi but it has been tested on,
- Raspberry Pi (v1) model B
- Raspberry Pi 2 model B
- Raspberry Pi 3 model B and B+
- Raspberry Pi 4
Easy Installation
This command downloads and installs the Debian package and adds its apt repository,which ensures you’ll always be up to date with upstream changes.
That’s it! Plug a speaker into your Pi on your local network, select the devicein Spotify et voilà!
Hard installation
Essentially, here’s what the easy installer does,
Or you can just download the latest .deb package and install it manually fromhere (raspotify-latest.deb),
Uninstalling
To uninstall, remove the package,
To completely remove Raspotify and its Debian repository from your system try,
Configuration
Raspotify works out of the box and should be discoverable by Spotify Connect onyour local network, however you can configure it by editing /etc/default/raspotifywhich passes arguments to librespot.
After editing restart the daemon by running: sudo systemctl restart raspotify
Building the Package Yourself
All that’s required is Docker on a *nix system withgit and Make. Itcan be built on any amd64 platform that runs docker using Raspberry Pi’scross-compiler (tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and macOS El Capitan).
There should be a built Debian package (a .deb file) in your project directory.
Note About Raspotify’s APT Repository
You can actually use GitHub to host an APT repository for Raspotify as Ihave done, but that’s very much out of the scope of this Readme. Have a lookat the Makefile’s apt-repo and apt-deploy directives, and itsAPT_GPG_KEY and APT_GH_PAGES_REPO variables. You’ll at least need thisrepository cloned on GitHub, GitHub Pages enabled for the gh-pages branch,and a GPG key. I can’t and won’t support anyusers trying to do this at this time, but have fun and good luck!
Troubleshooting
My volume on Spotify is 100% and it’s still too quiet!
Have you tried turning the volume up using the command alsamixer?
My Raspberry Pi does not use my USB sound card!
Try to replace the following in the file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf:
with
The audio output buzzes a few seconds after audio stops!
This is likely to be ALSA’s Dynamic Audio Power Management (DAPM) shutting downthe sound module of your device to save power. If you want to disable this feature,create a file called snd_soc_core.conf in /etc/modprobe.d with this line in:

Once you reboot and play some sound, the issue should be gone.
