Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/689

Every time I restart my computer, the volume is at 100%, which is way too loud. I don't want to lower the volume every time I restart (because it's quite slow), and I also don't want to lower my master volume just for this app. Is there a way to specify a default volume it loads on startup?

I'm not aware of that feature. But it should be easy to implement.
I see two options: saving the last used volume or letting the user specify the volume in the config file.
What do you prefer?

I'd say remember the last used volume, that would save the hassle of going to the config file whenever you want to change it.

Do you want to work on it or should I pick it up? It won't be hard.

I've never used rust and I'm unfamiliar with the codebase, so you go ahead and do it :)

It seems that this setting is device specific. I don't think it makes sense to implement this in spotify-tui.
Hava a look at spotifyd, they have an initial_volume option that allows you to change the initial volume.

Thank you! I'll look into it.

Indeed, this sounds like an issue with the playback device itself. For example, the official spotify client "remembers" the correct volume setting after restarts.

@Pomegranate123 did setting initial_volume on for spotifyd work for you?
