>apologies, i meant i only have a linux device with only spotify installed, because it's the thing i use. no, i'm not talking about music players, only streaming services.

>you're completely right other services and software are available on linux. but the point i'm trying to make is, this tool is spotify -> others, but a common use-case is others -> spotify.

No apologies necessary. I misunderstood your point, which is certainly a fair one.

And given your use case, I get your frustration. That said, there are, apparently, a number of Linux apps and plugins for said apps that will allow you to play not only local music, but streams from Spotify as well as from other streaming services.

I get that's not really what interests you, but it is an option if you choose.

I don't use Spotify, so I haven't looked for tools to convert to Spotify links, but I'd expect they're out there, given that the reverse exists.

Edit: Fixed typo.
