## Common questions

### Can Spotifast play music on a free Spotify account?

Playback requires Spotify Premium. Free accounts can browse and search but cannot play music.

### How do I sign in and enable local playback?

Choose Sign in with Spotify and approve access in a browser. Then choose Set up playback here and complete the separate playback approval; your computer appears as a Spotify Connect device named Spotifast.

### What should I check before installing the Flatpak version?

Make sure Flatpak and the Freedesktop 24.08 runtime are installed first. After starting the app, sign in again, and remove the old Fastpotify Flatpak if present so the versions do not conflict.

### How do I update the Arch AUR package without losing settings?

Install spotifast-bin with yay and let it replace the old package when prompted. Do not delete your settings first, or you may have to start over.

### Can Spotifast control playback on other devices?

Yes, Spotifast can play on the local computer or control playback on other devices. It supports Google Cast speakers and groups.
