Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/786

Just installed this for the first time on Arch Linux using the pacman -S spotify-player command.

Then starting spotify_player authenticate I am able to authenticate. But then running spotify_player just drops me back to the terminal. No output or errors.

I did find a log under .cache/spotify-player that I have put below

Hmm, the error seems to indicate that you do not have a Spotify premium account, which is required for spotify_player to work.
See this section of the README.

Can you verify real quick if you have a premium account?

Ah thanks, I must have missed that. No, I don't have a premium account.

I was just looking for a terminal Spotify client and came across this one as Spotify TUI was abandoned.

Do you know of any console clients that work with the free accounts?

As far as I know you need a premium account in order to use the Spotify API.
So I doubt that there are any third party Spotify clients that work with free accounts.

That said, feel free to let me know if you find one.
