I'm currently building a project where I want to have the song title at the very least from the Spotify Connect instance. I noticed in a GitHub issue a dev posted https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/592 as a reference point. I know the Spotify API is easier but I too am sort of on the boat of using a daemon to just expose the metadata and pulling from there. I'm fairly new to this sort of thing but I wonder how one might go about going around the API and without having to directly rely on an account, a key and all that.
Oh, so the first time I came across that issue I failed to read it properly and librespot does have all the metadata needed. I agree this is a much cleaner, easier and more flexible approach than spotify's web api. Just need to figure out how to best get the data to frontend and write a daemon using librespot that exposes it (or use one of the ones already solving this problem in a usable way).
