Are there any open-source spotify frontends? If there aren’t, why not?

      I have seen most, if not all spotify frontends (that actually play music from spotify rather than finding the stream on yt) require spotify premium. Why is that so?

        Presumably it makes use of API access.

        I may be slight off here, but for anything other than viewing currently playing, and maybe a few other things, you need premium to choose a track, and control the player.
