Have tried this several times but I find it drops off the network as a remote play device. If you have a PC with the Spotify app running, that appears as a remote play device to other clients. Otherwise I found ncspot to be more reliable than spotifyd: https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot/

Just one minor tweak of what plays next can totally rip off independent artists on the platform. We have reached an era where algorithms aren't transparent, so artists like me are bewildered that for all the promoting we do on our own music, we rarely get any views and listens unless we literally spend thousands of dollars on advertising to break the visibility barrier... For example, if I tweet a link to my own song…
This is a problem inherent with walled garden social media. Their garden, their rules. Instead of trying to police behavior we don't like in those walled gardens (which is mostly like trying to walk in quicksand) we should be supporting open protocols and systems that don't require a walled garden at all, like the internet used to be.
Sincerely, as Spotify (and the rest of the streaming services) are forced to make more and more user-hostile decisions to keep their revenue growth curve going up and to the right, it might make sense to jump ship early.
We recently cut a new release for the first time in over a year, which is very exciting for all of us (and I'm guessing why the project has been submitted here now :D)
What i find the most interesting is the zeroconf option [0]. For example you can set up your spotifyd daemon on a raspberry and have it always connected to speakers.

This. You can always host your own music on your own site. Of course then you need to deal with monetisation and how you actually get paid. But you have control!

While, on the other hand the business could sell their products on their website and therefore get 100% of the money on their website. Many companies sell on their website for this reason.

Neither in some sense do people who own physical media, eg. a CD.
I’m what sense is that, exactly? I can sell my discs, play them however often and in whatever device I want. I can also rip as many times as I want onto as many computers as I want.
