Streaming on embedded linux device

[originalbreed]

We are developing a product where our users will use their Spotify account to stream music to a device. The device will be running on a small linux distribution and will need to be able to make calls to Spotify and stream music directly on the device. A custom mobile app will be used to create and manage playlists on the users account, which correlate with the user account on the device.

We would like to build the app using the Web API, we can see easily how this can be achieved for the mobile app and managing the playlists, however as far as we can see it does’t support streaming the full tracks and only a 30 second preview.

We have successfully prototyped our app for the device using Libspotify and some other 3rd party libraries and extensions that rely on this library, however as these will no longer be officially supported we are not sure what we can use to develop our app.

Can anyonetell me if the Web API will support streaming full tracks in the future? or what the alternatives might be for us to achieve our goals?

Many thanks for your help!
