Originally opened as https://github.com/plietar/librespot/issues/266

Metadata/tags has been sadly overlooked, as it is now every integration patches its own.

I suggest we address this by making metadata available in the audio_backend.

Ex. Pulseaudio has a more or less well defined API where it uses properties, Airplay supports its own tags, for the stdout backend we can continue to use stderr as the simple "Track loading" stuff does today but should be expanded with more tags. Currently metadata is not a part of the audio backend API at all as far as I can tell.

Also, all the basic tags should be available without having to lookup in Spotify again as that would push complexity into audio distribution (Pulseaudio, Snapcast). Adding a tag for Spotify reference would be nice to enable elaborate UI's (ex Kodi with a lot of track info) but basic info should be available without complexity.

Any ideas?

Hmm, is this maintained at all anymore? Or moved somewhere else?

Anyone?

Ye, have any1 come forward to take ownership or do we all fragment it into our own special versions?
It's a brilliant piece of code and I'd hate to see it fragment :(

Tempting but my rust skills are more than rusty S
We are probably better off with someone who can evaluate pulls...
