Yes, there are indeed people who are using in a sensible not-annoying way, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one judging by the user interaction through GitHub issues or the matrix server.

They aren't handled well at all at the moment and thus lead to a really bad experience for some.

I have spotifyd running on a number of my machines.

I guess I'm curious, are people actually successfully using this? With any amount of reliability?
