Spotify Provider Preview image

Music Assistant has full support for Spotify media listing and playback.

Features

  • Support for Artists, Albums, Tracks and Playlists
  • Items in your Spotify library (including the Liked Songs playlist) will be added to the Library in Music Assistant
  • Adding an item from Spotify to the Music Assistant Library will also add it to "Your Library" in Spotify
  • Marking an item as a favourite in Music Assistant will also add it to the MA Library and "Your Library" in Spotify
  • Multiple Spotify accounts can be added. All playlists from all accounts will be shown. If a playlist is selected for playback the source Spotify account will be used
  • Radio mode is supported

Configuration

  • You can only configure the Spotify provider from a device which is on the same subnet as the MA server (and not via a VPN)
  • Entering a personal ClientID may speed up access to the Spotify API or eliminate rate limiting if that is encountered. How to obtain a ClientID is explained here. When entering the information in the various fields the only mandatory item is the REDIRECT URL which must be set to https://music-assistant.io/callback. Using a personal ClientID is optional
  • After deciding whether to use a personal ClientID, click on the large button AUTHENTICATE WITH SPOTIFY
  • A new window will open where you must allow Spotify to connect to Music Assistant
  • You must then come back to MA and press SAVE in the Spotify settings page. If the device you are on kills the MA frontend before this is done then the provider setup will fail (Use a different, typically non-mobile, device if this happens)

Known Issues / Notes

  • Only Spotify PREMIUM accounts are supported (includes Duo and Family), free accounts will not work.
