Spotify is now limiting each app to only five users and requires devs to have a Premium subscription. If developers need to make their app available to a wider user base, they will have to apply for extended quota.
I haven’t tried to set it up, but It looks like Tidal Connect is alive again and there are several ways to use on Linux, including WINE. When my Spotify subscription runs out I’m going to give it a try.

Lacks a few of Spotify’s features, but the audio quality is great, and it’s cheaper. Plus, fuck Spotify.
Qobuz is also good, apparently.
seconding Tidal.

Yeah, I tend to buy vinyl for the artists that I’m really into.
I looked at a tital a year or so ago and it wouldn’t work for me. Will look again, maybe they’ve improved it.
I came to the same conclusion., I need a “Spotify connect” type feature, and when I looked, tidal had just axed their equivalent.
Until a competitor allows me to play music on a headless Linux box and control it with my phone, I’m stuck with Spotify

Depends what you define as “Wouldn’t work for me.” Song library has improved a lot, if that’s what you mean.
