Audia is a desktop Spotify client written in Rust, built with Vizia for the UI and librespot for local playback.
Spotify Premium is required.
This project is still in early development and is likely to contain bugs and rough edges.
- Rust-native desktop app with a custom Vizia interface
- Spotify OAuth login flow with persisted credentials
- Search across tracks, artists, and albums
- Playlist browsing and track filtering
- Create, rename, and delete playlists
- Add and remove tracks in playlists
- Local playback controls (play, pause, seek, volume)
- Queue and recently played side panel
- Automatic token refresh for long-running sessions
- Persistent UI and playback preferences
- Rust toolchain (stable)
- Spotify Premium account
Audia depends on vizia/skia-safe for UI rendering and librespot (rodio/cpal) for audio playback, so you need a few OS-native build tools and libraries.
Install compiler and native development libraries:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y \
build-essential \
pkg-config \
libasound2-dev \
libx11-dev \
libxrandr-dev \
libxi-dev \
libxcursor-dev \
libxinerama-dev \
libwayland-dev \
libxkbcommon-devNo special setup is required beyond installing Rust. The necessary native libraries are included with macOS.
Install:
- Visual Studio Build Tools (Desktop development with C++)
- Open the Spotify Developer Dashboard and sign in with your Spotify account.
- Click Create app.
- Enter an app name and description, agree to Spotify's terms, then submit.
- Open your new app in the dashboard and go to its settings/details page.
- Find Client ID and copy it to your clipboard.
Keep this Client ID available for Audia's Spotify login setup when prompted.
cargo run --releaseOn first launch, use the login dialog to authenticate with Spotify.
Audia is actively evolving. Core flows (login, browsing, search, playback, queue, and playlist operations) are in place, but the app is not yet production-ready.
If you hit a bug, opening an issue with steps to reproduce is very helpful.
