The Clementine Music Player is a full-service audio player (based on Amarok 1.4) that lets you search and play local music. The overall use is simple - when you select a folder containing music, Clementine scans your collection and automatically organizes the songs by artist and album. You can easily create playlists by dragging songs into the queue. In addition, the smart playlist feature can generate random playlists immediately or according to your listening habits. Others like it because it creates dynamic playlists. Clementine supports a variety of popular online services (Ampache, Google Play Music, Spotify, Soundcloud), allowing you to incorporate online radio stations (Jamendo, Icecast), podcasts and other online content into your playlists. Clementine is available for macOS, Windows and Linux.

While Spotify music can be played on the Clementine music player, some users complain that it is impossible to create a Spotify plugin on Clementine due to some connection errors. Is there a more stable way to use Spotify Music on Clementine?

Why not try to download Spotify tracks online and transfer them to the Clementine music player for playback instead of using the Spotify plugin to listen to Spotify songs on Clementine. Maybe you think it's impossible, as only Spotify Premium can download songs offline, and once you close the Premium subscription, all downloaded songs won't work because all Spotify music is in DRM-protected Ogg format.
