Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/526

Went through docs & feature list and couldn't see this option, but is there any potential to allow control over this option, perhaps shortcut around switching the setting of mono or stereo?

Very often using a single headphone while multi-tasking, was great when spotify allowed the option for mono. Actually wasn't too aware of it, but it's apparently a big accessibility feature as well... lots of people with single side hearing issues or even single side deafness...

Not sure of the ins&outs&possibilities of this with the audio engine options in use outside of the actual spotify one, but even if it is only controllable for that, I think ability for setting mono or stereo would be a good feature.

Why not do this with your system yourself? The player shouldn't handle audio management.

that'd require opening client, going to settings and changing it back and forth. when running spotify_player im tending to have the app closed.

feature idea is related to it being a nice option to be able to toggle this spotify setting - if it's feasible.

You could set a system wide hotkey to toggle mono/stero audio. This would then also apply to other music players in the browser, etc..
