This project is all about audio, so it might be worth purchasing a USB Audio Card or a Raspberry Pi sound card. Equipment Listīelow are all the bits and pieces that I made use of for this Raspberry Pi Spotify tutorial.

You will need a Spotify premium account to be able to complete this tutorial. It also allows you to run Spotify on your Raspberry Pi in a completely headless setup. While this isn’t the full Spotify, it does allow you to easily use any other device to play music from your Raspberry Pi. In addition to showing you how to install the Spotify connect software, we will walk you through some of the basic configuration options that you can specify. This setup is an affordable way of connecting any speakers to Spotify. Working as a Spotify Connect device allows you to easily stream songs from any Spotify app to your Raspberry Pi. Using the Raspotify software package, we can set up your Raspberry Pi so that it can work as a cheap Spotify Connect device.

This setup is headless, so you will need to control it using another device. In this Raspberry Pi Spotify tutorial, we will be going through all the steps to set up the Spotify connect service.
