Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/devgianlu/go-librespot/issues/210

I would like to ask if there is a possibility to modify the log formatting in go-librespot, particularly when running it as a system service (e.g., via systemd).

When running go-librespot as a system service, I noticed that the logs contain the timestamp twice—once in the log message itself and again from journalctl. This results in redundancy and reduces the readability of the logs.

I have seen other users on forums also running go-librespot as a system service, and I believe it would be a beneficial change to allow the log formatting to avoid duplicating the timestamp when it's handled by systemd.
