Linux Desktop Client - Connect with Volume Control?

Hi there!

Does anyone know, if the Linux Desktop Client supports Spotify Connect and Volume Control? I want to use my Android phone to control the Linux Desktop Client on my Raspberry Pi.

Thanks in advance,

Juergen

Hi!

Yes! Spotify Connect is available for Linux! https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Windows-Web/spotify-connect-for-linux-client/td-p/974525 Ensure that you have the latest version first.

Note*: Spotify Connect also works on Speakers that has Spotify Connect built-in. there's lots of Spotify partners out there that make devices that support Spotify connect. Check this page for more info https://www.spotify.com/connect/ .

*Just want to add information 🙂

Hope this helps 🙂

Hi @teeausgang,

I can confirm what @user-removed said, I don't have any issues with Spotify connect.

I am running Spotify client on Ubuntu 15.04 and I am able to control it with my Android 4.2 phone.

Thanks for the replies and the link.

Can you also confirm, that the Volume Control feature is also working?
