# [Lovspotify Spotify Client for Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu and Debian](https://lovspotify.github.io/lovspotify)
[](https://travis-ci.com/spocon/lovspotify)
[](https://maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/me.haga.librespot.spotifi/lovspotify)
## Introduction
Lovspotify is a [Spotify Connect](https://www.spotify.com/connect/) for
[Debian package and associated repository](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deb_\(file_format\))
which thinly wraps the awesome
[librespot-java](https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot-java) library by
[Gianluca Altomani](https://github.com/devgianlu) and others. It works out of the box on
all three revisions of the Pi, immediately after installation.
## Spotify GUI
After installation , open a browser: http://localhost:8080 or access the GUI from any computer in the same network: SERVER_IP:8080
Port can be changed under:
```
/opt/lovspotify/gui.yml
```
after you have changed the port please restart
```
service lovspotify restart
```
## Download Latest Version
### Installation for Raspberry Pi
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.
```
curl -sL https://spocon.github.io/spocon/script/install_lovspotify.sh | sh
```
That's it! Plug a speaker into your Pi on your local network, select the device in Spotify et voilà!
### Installation Ubuntu and Debian
```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:spocon/lovspotify
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get install lovspotify
```
### Hard installation
Essentially, here's what the easy installer does,
```
# Add repo and its GPG key
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 7DBE8BF06EA39B78
## This downloads the armhf version for Raspbian Pi
echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/spocon/lovspotify/ubuntu bionic main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lovspotify.list
# Install package
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install lovspotify
```
### Uninstalling
To uninstall, remove the package,
```bash
sudo apt-get remove -y lovspotify
```
To completely remove lovspotify and its Debian repository from your system try,
```bash
sudo apt-get remove -y --purge lovspotify
```
## Configuration
lovspotify should work out of the box and should be discoverable by Spotify Connect on
your local network, however you can configure it by editing `/opt/lovspotify/config.toml`
which passes arguments to [librespot-java](https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot-java).
```toml
deviceName = "lovspotify" ### Device name ###
deviceType = "COMPUTER" ### Device type (COMPUTER, TABLET, SMARTPHONE, SPEAKER, TV, AVR, STB, AUDIO_DONGLE, GAME_CONSOLE, CAST_VIDEO, CAST_AUDIO, AUTOMOBILE, WEARABLE, UNKNOWN_SPOTIFY, CAR_THING, UNKNOWN) ###
preferredLocale = "en" ### Preferred locale ###
[auth] ### Authentication ###
strategy = "ZEROCONF" # Strategy (USER_PASS, ZEROCONF, BLOB, FACEBOOK)
username = "" # Spotify username (BLOB, USER_PASS only)
password = "" # Spotify password (USER_PASS only)
blob = "" # Spotify authentication blob (BLOB only)
[zeroconf] ### Zeroconf ###
listenPort = -1 # Listen on this port (`-1` for random)
listenAll = true # Listen on all interfaces (overrides `zeroconf.interfaces`)
interfaces = "" # Listen on these interfaces (comma separated list of names)
[cache] ### Cache ###
enabled = true # Cache enabled
dir = "./cache/"
doCleanUp = true
[preload] ### Preload ###
enabled = true # Preload enabled
[time] ### Time correction ###
synchronizationMethod = "NTP" # Time synchronization method (NTP, PING, MELODY, MANUAL)
manualCorrection = 0 # Manual time correction in millis
[player] ### Player ###
autoplayEnabled = true # Autoplay similar songs when your music ends
preferredAudioQuality = "VORBIS_160" # Preferred audio quality (VORBIS_96, VORBIS_160, VORBIS_320)
enableNormalisation = true # Whether to apply the Spotify loudness normalisation
normalisationPregain = 0.0 # Normalisation pregain
initialVolume = 65536 # Initial volume (0-65536)
logAvailableMixers = true # Log available mixers
mixerSearchKeywords = "" # Mixer/backend search keywords (semicolon separated)
crossfadeDuration = 0 # Crossfade overlap time (in milliseconds)
output = "MIXER" # Audio output device (MIXER, PIPE, STDOUT)
releaseLineDelay = 20 # Release mixer line after set delay (in seconds)
pipe = "" # Output raw (signed) PCM to this file (`player.output` must be PIPE)
```
After editing restart the daemon by running: `sudo systemctl restart lovspotify`
## 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`:
```
defaults.ctl.card 0
defaults.pcm.card 0
```
with
```
defaults.ctl.card 1
defaults.pcm.card 1
```
> *The audio output buzzes a few seconds after audio stops!*
This is likely to be ALSA's Dynamic Audio Power Management (DAPM) shutting down
the 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:
```
options snd_soc_core pmdown_time -1
```
Once you reboot and play some sound, the issue should be gone.

File an issue and if we get it sorted, I'll add to this list.

(I'd rather you donate to [librespot-java](https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot-java)
instead, but there's no public address for those folks.)
