The first way to play Spotify music on Raspberry Pi we show here is to get assistance from Kodi, which is a media center software. Kodi can run on tops of other systems, like OSMC or LibreElec and allows users to listen to and stream thousands of media content from different streaming music and video sits, such as Spotify, YouTube, Netflix, etc. Let's see how it works.
How to listen to Spotify on the Raspberry Pi. For this project, you’ll need a Raspberry Pi and all of the basic peripherals: a screen, a keyboard, a mouse, a power supply, and a microSD card. You’ll also need a computer with an SD card slot. If you want to use the headphone jack to listen to Spotify, you’ll need headphones or an aux cable. The following is the detailed guide to use AudFree Spotify Music Converter to convert Spotify music and playlists to Raspberry Pi compatible audio files. This smart tool is available for both Windows and Mac operating system, you can choose the right version to install on your computer.
