## Spotify
### Via libspotify
forked-daapd has support for playback of the tracks in your Spotify library.
1. Go to the [web interface](http://forked-daapd.local:3689) and check that your

forked-daapd do the playback - so that means you can't stream from forked-daapd
to DAAP clients (e.g. iTunes) and RSP clients.
Alternatives:
If you want forked-daapd to be a selectable metaspeaker in Spotify's client, you
can use [librespot](https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot) to write audio
to a pipe in your library. There will be some lag with volume adjustments, and
getting metadata to work also requires extra tinkering.
### Via librespot/spocon
You can also use forked-daapd with one of the various incarnations of
[librespot](https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot). This adds librespot as
a selectable metaspeaker in Spotify's client, and when you start playback,
librespot can be configured to start writing audio to a pipe that you have added
to your library. This will be detected by forked-daapd that then starts
playback. You can also have a pipe for metadata and playback events, e.g. volume
changes.
The easiest way of accomplishing this may be with [Spocon](https://github.com/spocon/spocon),
since it requires minimal configuration. After installing, create two pipes
(with mkfifo) and set the configuration in the player section:
```
# Audio output device (MIXER, PIPE, STDOUT)
output = "PIPE"
# Output raw (signed) PCM to this file (`player.output` must be PIPE)
pipe = "/srv/music/spotify"
# Output metadata in Shairport Sync format (https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync-metadata-reader)
metadataPipe = "/srv/music/spotify.metadata"
```
