raspberry pi as music player

i was looking if i can use spotify on raspberry pi and it seems like it require some additional workarounds. i want to make music player which could play songs from spotify, SoundCloud or ones that or device so my question is how difficult that would be? what raspberry would be best for it? i work as front end developer and have experience with writing apps, programs for arduino etc so programming this shouldn't be much of a problem

what im also curious about is how difficult would that be to call specific actions (i.e. from spotify like next song or some custom ones / change current music output from spotify to soundcloud or internal memory) with buttons

google for "raspotify"

that is exactly what you need.

acts as a remote "device" in spotify.

works as expected, i run it daily.
