90spot - Spotify for Nintendo Switch (Proof of Concept)

2 min read Original article ↗

Hi! This is a demo/proof-of-concept release of 90spot. The code in its current state is only capable of doing two things:

  • Authenticate with Spotify using your login info
  • Play Bad Apple!!

At 1.0.0, I would like 90spot to be a Spotify Connect client that you can use to play music. In a future release, I'd like to make a full-fledged Spotify client, capable of searching tracks, viewing playlists, etc. However, this will require reverse engineering undocumented Spotify APIs, so this is a bigger milestone than the relatively simple Spotify Connect client.

I cannot guarantee that I will have enough spare time to reach either of these goals in the near future, so if anyone would like to chip in with some code, it would be much appreciated! If you are interested in collaborating, please contact me on Discord, my username is mogery#3420.

Enjoy!

If you can't do it by editing, you can report your own post and ask a mod to add the tag.

You should look into Spotube. It's open source. Reads your Spotify playlist & then pulls the audio stream from YouTube. No ads, no need for Spotify Premium.
