Are there any open-source spotify frontends? If there aren’t, why not?
Spot is a native Spotify client for gnome.
I have been using this but it finds music on yt, sometimes finding wrong songs or just not finding them at all. Though I have to admit it’s really cool!

Wow, didn’t know about this and never would’ve expected this. I guess sometimes we should expect the unexpected. Thanks for this article!

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.

I like
spotify-qt
on desktop. it disconnects from time to time on its own, but otherwise it works just fine.
