I'm not sure how this can be true. Their terms of service specifically ban users from reverse engineering unofficial parts of the product.
Either way, I'd be interested to know how it actually works.

Same here. I'm canceling my Spotify subscription right now and am moving to iTunes (back again). Spotify doesn't seem to support the newly announced home pods as well, which was another reason to quit my subscription, but mainly the somewhat enforced lock in from Spotify concerned me as well.
Isn't the homepod (mini?) issue pretty much Apple's lock-in?

This, on top of songs disappearing from my playlists, rendered unavailable. I organize everything in foobar now, both local music and streaming playlists with the help of extensions. You can add Youtube sources to your playlists. Even if the links break, you can automatically fix them, keep the name and structure. Have not tried the app versions.
Oh man, how do I wish a foobar that runs natively on Linux :(

It pains me to say it, but music apps on Linux are abysmal. The last one that wasn't completely crap was Amazon 1.4.
- cross-fading between songs
- a real queue that is separate from the playlist so you can program what plays next and in which order easily (CTRL+D to add / remove, and a advanced window can show the queue)
- a remote control with an Android app
- stop after this song
- a giant search / filter bar. It does not has to have the focus to start searching, just type when Clementine is the active window
- MPRIS integration (obviously)
- several playlists open at the same time
- the mood bar
It also has:
- tag editing
- integration with many online services
- a library handling that does not get in the way but full-featured anyway
- support for removable media

It's a fork and a continuation of Amarok 1.4.

This seems less like an article and more like an advertisement.
No surprise there. It is very common for startups or small to mid-sized companies to start a blog as a companion for their product, with articles of the schema "Very broad description of some common problem/need, followed by very specific guides - often times even step-by-step - on how to use their product to deal with said problem/need." It widens the spectrum of keywords that they can be found with a lot and thereb…

Clementine [1] is pretty cool. It does everything I need: - cross-fading between songs - a real queue that is separate from the playlist so you can program what plays next and in which order easily (CTRL+D to add / remove, and a advanced window can show the queue) - a remote control with an Android app - stop after this song - a giant search / filter bar.
