📰 My headless Raspberry Pi can finally be a real Spotify Connect player without a workaround
My headless Raspberry Pi 4 is parked near my old jBL Flip 5 speaker, and its job was to play Spotify for the longest time. I’d pair my phone to it over Bluetooth, stream from there, and hope nothing got in the way. But something always did, like a phone call, a notification, or walking too far from the Pi. That caused the music to stutter or cut out entirely. It mostly worked, but rarely felt like a proper music player.
