Description

When I enter "spotifyd" in my terminal, and then run ps -aux | grep spot, it shows two processes, spotifyd, and /usr/bin/spotifyd --no-daemon.

if i play music, and kill the /usr/bin/spotifyd --no-daemon one, the music continues, however the process pops up again after a few seconds.

if i kill the one thats just spotifyd, the music stops. the other process stays running though.

I'm wondering what the purpose of these are?

To Reproduce run spotifyd.

run ps -aux | grep spot

Expected behavior

one process?

Are you sure that nothing just starts another instance of spotifyd automatically? To me, it sounds like systemd is just restarting /usr/bin/spotifyd --no-daemon as soon as it stops.
