Software:


* I installed Raspberry Pi OS Lite as my OS. I figured I'd be conservative by not installing a full desktop environment, not sure if that was actually necessary in retrospect. The Pi Zero is more capable than I originally figured.

* Streaming from Spotify was surprisingly simple. I installed Raspotify, which just runs as a daemon and handles everything once you've authenticated. When it's running, the Pi appears as a "Spotify Connect" device on your account, and you can instruct it to takeover playback via an HTTP request (or using the UI of another authenticated Spotify client!).

* I used the Spotipy Python library to authenticate, search Spotify's catalog, fetch my saved artists/albums/playlists, and send playback commands to Spotify's servers.

* I wrote the UI as a Python application using tkinter. It was honestly pretty great to work with - front-end frameworks are hard to pick up! And this project was the first time I put any real effort into learning (and trying to love) Python. Forgive me, I spend most of my time in JVM-land.

* Referencing Jason Garr's blog post, I wrote a C program to the bitbang the click wheel's serial data into the Pi. I used pigpio to control the GPIO pins. Once I parse out the button presses and finger position, I send the data to the UI application via UDP. Jason - THANK you, wherever you are. This project would have been nothing without the original click wheel, and I would not have been brave enough to try to figure out the pinout myself. I will - hopefully - on future projects.

* ^ I snuck the haptic control into the C program that reads the click wheel. When the user's finger position changes, I quickly pulse the GPIO pin that's hooked up to the haptic motor. This was super easy, but the downside is that the haptics don't sync perfectly with the UI. For example, if you reach the bottom of a list, the haptics will continue even when the scrolling stops. It syncs perfectly while actively scrolling, so I didn't think it was worth changing.

* I use Redis (via Python library) to persist/cache user's Spotify data.

* I use Openbox to host the UI Application, which starts automatically once the PI boots up.

* I use pi-btaudio to get Bluetooth audio out of the Pi.


All of my source code will eventually be available here.




I am not sure how useful this information will be to everyone. However, I have been working on my own ipod on and off for a while now and I am proud to say that while I have been struggling with the software, I have successfully slimmed down a pi zero and fit a much larger (2500mAh) battery inside of the case. Additionally, this setup has quite a bit of free space for extra pcb's to be wired up. For instance, I have also wired up an external dac board (pcm5102) and fit it inside the case. My plan is to use this extra space (and probably multiple revisions of this project... probably over a long time) to eventually turn an ipod into a device similar to a flipper zero. Currently, I hope to also wire up an IR led, and a RF module. However, I do have one concern with lack of power with the original raspi zero. I do hope to upgrade to the second gen with a newer "prototype" of this idea, but I am curious if it would be possible to use a cm4 board instead of the zero, and I would appreciate it if anyone has thoughts on that.

Hello just wanted to let you guys know that I was able to get this project working and documented the way I did it, though the code is modified for the waveshare display in Ricardo's build. This is the first time I have ever tried this so please forgive me for any errors. -ipod-spotify-client/issues/69

I opened my dead ipod and instantly hit first roadblock, scrollwheel connectors are completely different, can anyone identify what connector this is and is there any breakout and pinout available?

 


So currently I have a new phone but I dont want to clog up its empty space by making offline playlists on spotify and I want to stop using data to listen to songs on the way home. The one solution I came up with was to get an old ipod touch with 8-16 gb to be used just for music... my concern however is I luckily realized that spotify cannot be installed on a 1st gen ipod touch before I purchased one. I am uncertain if the 2nd generation would work, and furthermore will the 2nd gen just suffer the same fate as 1st gen when spotify updates and the 2nd gen wont meet requirements?

Oh, no. I just bought a 7th generation ipod nano specifically to work with Spotify. Should I return it or is there a work around? Right now it doesn't show up under "devices" when I go into Spotify on my cmputer when I try to synch.

is there ever going to be any sort of integration with ipod nano or classic with spotify? i totally understand the reasons for why its not possible at this time, but it sounds like its nothing but a software update or a software rewrite. I just want to kindly add my suggestion to your guy's queue of suggestions for future spotify updates

Also it is worth noting that you can not transfer music from the online Spotify catalogue to iPods that do not support the spotify application thats nanos, classics and shuffles. The spotify client can only be used to sync local tracks that you own to those devices.

I have read the question below and I think I have kind of a similar issue..........Yesterday I connected my ipod to my spotify account for first time, and of course the program asked if I want to sync to ipod up........and I said YES....the big problem was that ALL my music moved from my ipod to the spotify library, so now I have an empty ipod....and thats a nightmare!!

I need HELP!!!!! I have a premium spotify account. I created it so that I could use it for work. I had to put together some playlists for a party. I purchased the new 7th generation nano ipod thinking I could sync my the playlists i created on spotify with it but I realized after reading through these forums that you can't do it with the new nano. Well I plugged in my old shuffle and it actually recognized my device and allows me to sync local files but it says the playlists i created for the party are not local. What does that mean. I have a premium account doesn't that mean I can put them on my ipod and listen to them? I don't understand what the point in having a premium account is if you can't do that. Am I doing something wrong? Should I just go out and buy the ipod touch and download the spotify app? PLEASE HELLP ASAP I need to find a solution before work on Wednesday. Thank YOU!

I just came across your post and wanted to share some ideas. The iPod Nano series doesn't have the capability to run third-party apps like Spotify. However, you can still enjoy your favorite tunes by transferring your music files from your computer to your iPod Nano using iTunes. It may not have all the streaming features of Spotify, but you can still rock out to your own personalized playlists. In addition, for those who are looking to increase visibility and engagement on the Spotify platform, there are reliable providers out there that offer the option to buy spotify plays. These services can help boost your play count and potentially attract more listeners to your music.

So I went ahead to the project on GitHub - dupontgu/retro-ipod-spotify-client: The software that powers the sPot: a 4th generation "Click Wheel" iPod with a full Spotify client. to try running it on the clockworkpi (the debian bulleyes version obviously) and here goes :

Spotify is a popular music streaming service and can be accessed from Mac, PC, phone tablet and more with free or premium account. However, many people prefer to their ipod when they are doing sports, but feel disappointed to find that they can't sync Spotify songs to iPod nano even though they have downloaded the songs for offline listening. If you have the same problem, you are in the right place. This article will show you how to sync Spotify to iPod nano with either free or premium account.

Note: After converting Spotify songs to MP3 or other mainstream formats via TuneFab Spotify Music Converter, you can put spotify music to ipod classic with the following three methods.

-- I have Spotify Premuium and I'd like to sync my playlists (offline) to my iPod Shuffle. When I go to sync through spotify - I see the warning on my playlists - "Only local files synced". I have made the playlists available offline, can anyone confirm that my scenrio works and what steps I'm missing. Thanks in advance! 0852c4b9a8
