Lollypop als Linux-Alternative zu Spotify Desktop

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

Lollypop is not a replacement for Spotify Desktop if you rely on Spotify's streaming service, as it doesn't support Spotify's catalog or account sync. It's designed for local music collections, not cloud streaming. However, if you want a lightweight, native Linux player for managing and playing your own audio files with GNOME integration, artwork fetching, and party mode, Lollypop excels. It’s ideal for users who’ve moved away from streaming and prefer full control over their music without Electron overhead.

Ihre Spotify Desktop-Dateien öffnen

Lollypop cannot open or import Spotify Desktop-specific files like .sp links or local cache files, as Spotify does not expose these. Playlist and library data from Spotify Desktop cannot be directly exported or used in Lollypop. Users must manually recreate playlists in Lollypop using local audio files. If you have local copies of Spotify-tracked songs, Lollypop can play them, but no automated migration path exists.

  2. Copy your local music files to a folder accessible by Lollypop

Häufige Fragen

Can Lollypop play Spotify songs?

No. Lollypop cannot play Spotify streams or access its catalog. It only plays local audio files you own or have downloaded.

Does Lollypop sync with my Spotify playlists?

No. There is no integration with Spotify accounts, so playlists, likes, and history do not sync.

Is Lollypop better than Spotify Desktop for local music?

Yes, if you primarily listen to local files. It’s lighter, faster, and more integrated with GNOME than the Electron-based Spotify app.
