Featues vs librespot in Rust? #7

Closed benpye closed 5 years ago

benpye commented 6 years ago

I was wondering if there is a comparison of the completeness of this vs the original Rust librespot. I would like to attempt writing a CLI client for Spotify as I have become frustrated with the desktop client's reliance on Chromium. I prefer Go these days and so it would be good to know if it would be foolish to base anything on this Golang port vs. the Rust version.

The Golang and Rust versions are roughly at the same level. This port is more "library-oriented", as it doesn't focus on providing a drop-in replacement for the Spotify client, but rather give access to the Spotify library and audio data, in a similar fashion to the official libspotify library. Hence why, there's only a "micro-client" example for quick playback demo, and a "micro-controller" for Spotify Connect remote control features.

Other than that, the two libs are almost similar in functionality, and one could easily write a proper CLI client app using the Golang port. It's worth noting that the gap will reduce as time goes on, since it's going to be a central part of another project I'm working on.
