What do you mean by "lossless interpolation"?

same thing than interpolation used in dac chips, or interpolator chips :
keep all the original samples and only calculate intermediate samples.
And especially not to recalculate the whole flow, as in the SRC (which is not lossless).

@ yannig moOde makes use of the existing sox (the soxr library) resampler.
You can find a lot of information about the (internal) working of this resampler, for example:
The great thing about sox is that you can download the sox commandline tool and analyse the output yourself.

Thanks for the links, but I do not found what I'm looking for there.
I do not like the sound of the Sox resampler, and I ALWAYS preferred interpolators integrated into dacs, or external DF170x (matter of taste, shall we say).
And in addition there are different interpolation filters in modern dacs.
Perhaps I do not test all the Sox feature, and it is possible to make it lossless.
but SRC are usually not lossless, it really seems that it is still the case for Sox (and I found nothing about lossless Sox on the whole web).

There is no concept of "lossless" in the process of interpolation. I've never seen the term used in that context. Can you provide link(s) referencing "lossless interpolation"?
Lossless transformations are 2-way where the original data is (1) transformed and (2) recovered without any data loss or change in the data. For example data file compression or lossless audio or image file compression.
Interpolation on the other hand is a 1-way transformation that changes the original data in an imperfect way. It consists of two processes.
1. Upsampling
Insert zero-valued samples between each pair of input samples. This is called zero-stuffing. It creates a new, higher rate signal whose frequency spectrum and bandwidth is the same as the original signal but with signal distortion consisting of images of the original signal centered on multiples of the original sampling rate.
2. Low-pass filtering the result
The goal of this process is to eliminate the distortion caused by upsampling.
The end result, assuming a perfect interpolation process, would be a signal at N times the rate of the original signal which has the same frequency spectrum and bandwidth as the original signal but without any of the distortion caused by updsampling.
There is no such thing as a perfect interpolation filter and so the result will always contain some amount of distortion. Whether or not the the distortion matters depends on the quality of the interpolator routine and how the resulting signal is being used downstream.

Tim, could you please add a option to maintain the spotify cache? For me it is important, as i use large sd card to listen spotify offline (with cache avaliable, it works). With precary internet connection the traffic is limited....
At the moment i need to alter the code to use the cache (remove —disable-cache with is hardcoded)
With an option, we can reenable it easly if it will desired
